Yesterday idled out past no wake zone and went to throttle up but as she sped up issues continuous warning beep. Throttle down it goes away. Same back at dock, and rev in neutral and at about 3,000 the continuous beep starts.
Tried some reverse throttle in case jet was obstructed. Tried flushing water cooling while in the water with garden hose, engine running, and pinching the line per specifications. No change.
Plugs are black, so have new ones will put in.
Dealer service says over phone their usual suspects for this, as it does not seem to be in limp mode, is oil or water cooling. So I am still hoping maybe there is just an obstruction in the water intake that the flushing did not remove...as I have not visually inspected that yet as boat is in water.
Where does this engine draw in the raw water exactly? Thanks for your assistance.
Boat has exceeded expectations for fun, was disappointing to have to turn around with new friends aboard for first time.

Hi, new to forum and this 2004 Sea Doo LE DI. Boat has run perfectly for a few hours so far. Fresh fuel, full oil with Sea Doo oil.
Yesterday idled out past no wake zone and went to throttle up but as she sped up issues continuous warning beep. Throttle down it goes away. Same back at dock, and rev in neutral and at about 3,000 the continuous beep starts.

RESOLUTION: Turns out it was a bad power regulator....the voltage to the engine was dropping with acceleration so the engine would go into limp mode...discovered while monitoring voltage while engine was running, replaced $170 part and now no beep.
