Rooster tail is not shooting high

The rooster tail on my 2007 waverunner is only shooting up about 2 foot. Could this be a problem? It used to shoot much higher

If the waverunner is performing normally as far as throttle response and top speed, then the rooster tail not shooting as high as it used to indicates there is a restriction in the nozzle for the rooster tail, not a problem with the ski. Unbolt the rooster tail nozzle from the steering nozzle and inspect it for debris.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the info. I will give this a try."

There is a hose running from the jet pump housing to the nozzle. You might try taking the hose off of both ends and verifying that the hose/nozzle is not blocked. If it is, blow it out... if not it could be a partial blockage in your jet pump... are you noticing any reduced power/speed/cavitation on accelleration?

Starts and runs and RPMs are good but it won't go above 5 MPH. Checked intake and I have the rooster tail of water but no speed

you may have to check the pump unit for obstruction
the impellers are known to wear from abrasion from sand in the water and not operate efficiently.

How to keep the tail from shooting water out of the pool on a phantom pool cleaner

Some "water shooting" is normal with any pool cleaner no matter what brand. It sounds like your tail valve may be turned up too high. At the base of the tail there is a small plastic screw valve. Try turning it clockwise a little at a time . The optimal point is where the tail is still moving around while the cleaner is running, but not squirting water out of the pool too often. Hope that helps, Good luck!

Iam using external 8 GB SD Memory Card.If iam going shoot anything it will shoot around 2 mins 0r 4mins only.It will not shoot continuously atleast 1/2 an hour or more and sudenly it will stop Iam very...

If you are shooting video the flash memory card type is important. It needs to have high sustainable write speeds. You usually want a SDXC Class 10 card for this purpose.

We bought a used model for which there is no Manual. It is a clock radio and the alarm goes off in the middle of the night. We need to know how to control it.

I had a rooster like that once.
Shot him.
Worked for me!.
and with no information whatsoever as to the make/model of the mystery clock you own, that's the only advice I can give with regards to troubleshooting...it's giving you trouble...shoot it!

Sequential shooting modes

There are four sequential modes: Sequential shooting, High-speed Sequential shooting, AF Sequential shooting and Auto Bracketing. Sequential shooting modes can be selected from the CAMERA menu: Sequential shooting: A maximum of 11 frames can be shot sequentially at approximately 1.7 fps in HQ mode. Focus, Brightness (exposure) and White Balance are locked at the first frame. High-speed Sequential shooting: A maximum of 4 frames can be shot sequentially at approximately 3.3 fps. Focus, Brightness (exposure) and White Balance are locked at the first frame. AF Sequential shooting: Focus is individually locked for each frame. The AF Sequential shooting speed is slower than for normal sequential shooting. Auto Bracketing: When Auto bracketing is set, exposure is changed automatically for each frame when you start shooting. The exposure differential can be selected in the menus. Focus and white balance are locked at the first frame.
