My XP has always sounded kind of odd at idle (1100 RPMS). Today I took it out for the first time since it has been winterized. Fresh BR8ES plugs, fresh gas, fresh battery, etc.
The ski fired right up and I rode it for a couple hours no problem. Mostly 1/2 throttle operation with only a few short top speed blasts. This was on a freshwater lake. When pulling the ski back into the dock the idle dropped to 1000, then 900, and it sounded real rough. The second I brought the RPMs up it was back to normal and ran fine.
So, why is the idle dropping? What should the idle be at?
The plugs look a bit rich, they were new. I had idled a ways before I shut it down.
