I have a '95 speedster and last summer I began having problems with the port side engine. It would start at the beginning of the day but would be slow to smooth out and idle, once it did it would run fine at first. It would usually be after running to our normal anchoring spot and sitting for a while that we would try to go for a cruise around the lake and the motor would start right up and run beautifully for 1-2 minutes and then it would just die (running 3/4 throttle you would see the tack slowly peter down to zero). I could wait 10 seconds and it would start right back up and take off again, just to go 30 seconds and die again. On the last outing of the year the engine did the same thing only after dying a few times it got to where it would barely start and wouldn't stay running at all. I was able to get it to run just enough to winterize it but even on the hose out of the water it didn't run right. Changed spark plugs multiple times and fuel filter is clean. Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

It is possible it could be something going on with the rave valve, have you investigated this yet? Here are couple of other posts referring to the rave value, http://seadoosportbo...&sa=Search#1267.
