I have a 2002 Yamaha FX140 Waverunner.Fuel problem or electronic?

I have a 2002 Yamaha FX140 Waverunner. It won't start normal, won't stay idle at all and won't accellerate past 4 miles per hour. It was my fathers and not used hardly. Has total of 36 hours since he baught it. It started giving problems last year by having hard time starting and staying Idle, then this year it not only won't start without throttling and staying throttled, it won't accellerate anymore past 4-5 miles per hour , up to 4-5000rpm. I have check the injectors and it does get fuel to all four ports, but I do not know what else to check, there is no inline fuel filter, only one on the fuel pump which i have not checked yet since it has been delivering fuel.

any suggestions? how to clean the fuel injectors , low speed if clogged? or is it electronic problem limiting the engine?

    After doing several oil flushes and adding new oil I noticed a big change , but it wasn't until I did change the plugs when the watercraft came fully back to life. I would recommend both, oil flush, and spark plugs. also added some fuel injector cleaner to help clear up the nozzles. All three helped it get back to full performance.

    thanks for the feedback

Don't know if this will help, check all your plugs. i had one plug go out and lost 10 mph. i was told if you start and stop more than a couple times out of water it will foul the plugs right out. give this a try!

2006 yamaha waverunner wont idle

what is it idle at? how much? remove your seat check air filter if is black oily remove it and see if that fixes your problem you may want to change your spark plugs as well # one cylinder may be starting to foul the new yamahas are the worst for fouling plugs use a cr8eb instead of the cr9eb the 8s are hotter and work better try those and let me know thank you
