Sea Doo Help

Hello all, I have a 1995 Sea Doo GTX that we have used for the past 10 years. I come back to Texas from working in Connecticut this summer, and it turns out that our Sea Doo wants to take a crap on itself. It won't take in any gas. We know that it's empty, so we try to fill up the tank, and it will just sit in the gas line and not go into the tank, so we can't fill it up. We don't think there is a pinch in the line anywhere, at least not one that we can see or feel. Any suggestions? This was going to be my first/only week of riding this summer, and I can't even get out on the water.

How long did it sit for?

Oh I know what it is, my boat has a problem like that. Check to see if the air vent on the gas line is clogged with corrosion or debris. When air doesnt get in, it makes it harder for the gas to go down.

Ah, I forgot about general physics here. Will check that out.

Well, we don't really know where to look... plus there is just some random tube that got disconnected and we have no idea where it should be connected to. Guess we will just have to bring it into a service place to figure it out.

look at the gas tank filter.

That happened with my jet boat. I think it has a little valve or something to keep it from overflow and backwash and such. I just ended up feeding a small tube down the line just to clear things up. I don't know if that was good for it or not, but it may help. Also, do what bjr said, might be a filter.

Anyone have any idea where this filter would be?
