Yamaha waverunner won't idle and losing power

Have a 2007 yamaha FX HO Cruiser waverunner. Was riding when oil light and alarm came on and ski shut off. Husband checke oil and it was 1 & 1/2 qts low. When we restarted, it was louder than normal and wouldn't idle. He would accelerate but when letting off gas it dies. He changed all plugs because he overfilled with oil and he also cleaned the air filter bc it was full of oil. When restarted it smokes and still dies at idle and is only running at 1/2 throttle. He said it seems like it is losing power and doesn't accelerate very well or not as good as our other ( we have 2 identical skis). It is in l-mode but we just got these and are unsure of what L-mode means. Help!

L stands for limp mode
it is a mode that the ECM selects to prevent serious damage to the engine ( from you lack of oil )
have the fault codes read then reset with the scan tool

Why does yamaha waverunner fx cruiser ho not run in lake but will run hooked to water hose

Sounds like you have a bad stator. It may be producing enough spark to start the motor, but under a load (as in the water) it simply can not supply the amount of spark needed. Sometimes when a stator is tested on a ohms meter it may test good, but still be defective do to the load it will come in contact with when put in the water.

2004 waverunner fx cruiser, ran great last time out. Now hard to start and wont run on high speed. Nothing over 6 mph.

How old is the fuel? Ethanol causes major problems if left too long. You may need to empty the fuel and clean out the fuel system. Try changing the fuel filter and adding some seafoam to the fuel and running seafoam thru the fuel system. Hopoe this helps.

I have a 2006 yamaha waverunner fx cruiser and after about 5 or 10 mins of driving it the warning light blinks and the alarm sounds? How do u find out what causes that stuff and how do u fix it?

What does the alarm (display) say is the problem? Normaly you will get a specific error like Water TMP or Exhst. I am guessing exhaust and with that it is most likely the catalytic converver has become loose and lodged further down the exhaust.
