I'm having similar problems. Had injectors cleaned, new plugs, and oil change this past fall. This year it won't go above 6500 rpm in the water where it normally goes 7850 I think.
I pulled the impeller this evening hoping it was jacked up but it's not. Can't figure this out.
Did you try running it without the air filter? Definitely isn't your impeller if you can't go above 6500 rpm. Something air/fuel related is choking the motor.

Do you know what your RPMs were?
I honestly wasn't paying too much attention to RPMs, but I will do that more next time I'm out. I checked the speedo wheel today and it turns very freely. I was able to get the cleanout plug out using the floor jack method, and even though it was kind of rough, it looked like it was okay otherwise - I've ordered a rebuild kit for it. I had planned to change the oil today, but looking at the oil in the engine it looks like it was freshly changed and I know the previous owner used Yamalube, so I'm not gonna mess with that right now. A visual inspection of the intake grate and the impeller down the pump doesn't reveal anything. I changed the plugs today, but they also didn't look too bad. But we'll see what happens tomorrow, when I plan to get back out on the water again.

If I'm still having problems, I'll get a video of it.

Sounds good. Also check your battery voltage.

What are some other things I can try besides air filter?

After reseating the clean-out plug and changing the spark plugs, it ran fine yesterday. The speedometer is still not working accurately though, but I guess if there's a problem to have, that's about a good of one to pick as any ;-)

Just scrap the speedometer and get a perfect pass or ride steady. I wanna do that eventually. But that's like $1,300 or so. Maybe there is a calibration mode or something....

I was hoping someone can help me. My 2013 AR190 won’t start. The battery tested fine at 800 CCA. What I get when a turn the key is one clunk sound and that’s it except for a low grade hum and the loud alarm saying check engine. I am not positive I have the battery connected correctly. Forgot to mark the connections when I took the battery out for the season. There are five wires. I know the main positive and main negative but the other three I’m not so sure about. I think there are three wires connected to the negative and to connected to the positive. One wire has a Fuse attached to it. Does that one go on the positive or negative? Any other help or suggestions would be much appreciated. And one more thing, my battery terminals heated up so much that I burned my finger trying to disconnect the positive cable.

get the RideSteady. I installed last season and it and it works great. Wish I bought it years ago. Better than perfect pass because the dial is much easier to use than buttons. It's easy to install too.
