Here is the latest scoop on what is happening to the 600/800 EFI's. My 600 had a melt down while zipping across the lake at about 65/70 on Sunday. I was able to get the sled re-started and limp home, but I knew something bad had happened. Took my sled into the dealer and my suspicions were confirmed...about 105psi in one cylinder and 85psi in the other. Don't panic, my case seems to be the extreme.
This is what AC told my dealer:
Not sure How, Who or What...but there seems to be a white powdery residue that remains in the gas tanks after the manufacturing process. This powder continues clog the smart valves and leans out the sled.
AC's solution:
In my case they are taking the gas tank off and cleaning it out (Not sure just how you go about cleaning the inside of a gas tank) and also cleaning the screen in the S/V. They are replacing both cylinders and promise me my sled will be "like new". So far l I am pretty happy with the service.
If you had/have this problem and they didn't do a compression test, you may want to take it back and have it done.
