IM a MORON !!!
YES my son is a moron too, but mainly i am for trusting him to be responsible... ok, we went out and picked up a clean sl900 last night ,a 96, with 25 hours on the clock, then we got in the water today for the first time on it , thing runs out beautifully has the typical polaris box of rocks sound to the motor but better than most ive heard, idles perfect very little hesitation off idle, aound awesome power i was up to 60 in a few seconds (well by their speedo) so im very happy with all of this, then i let the 18 yo son take it out and say "stay away from the shore just go out to the channel markers and run around, its almost low tide" , so what does he do, sees one of his friends on the dock and starts doing donuts on a sand bar 10 feet offshore, 
:emoticonr needless to say it stopped running right , but unfortunately did not die out completely, so now he gets off the bar and with the bike still running, at full throttle can only go 4-5 miles an hour , so it takes him a good 10 min to get within earshot , before i can scream cut the danm thing off, so we let it sit a couple min and cranked it , ran rough and sputtered for a min , then i hit the powerband and ran it for a good 10 min straight @ about 50 or so, to get the crap out of the water system, but now the motor that sounded almost perfect before is idling very rough ? SO... is there a strainer or something i can clean in case there is still a hang up in there somewhere ?? or any other suggestions... AND ALSO, it has a very small crack on the center cylinder exhaust manifold, it was already there before we got it, and a little water is coming out when it runs, can i get that welded, or are there performance improving aftermarkets out that i should just swap out >? also could this indicative of another problem ? thanks in advance !
