This is my version of how to repair your original WASTEGATE SOLENOID.
Dealer charge $115.- tax incl.
I'm pretty much able to handle this kind of repairs because my business is somehow related. (bronenbergmotorwerks*com)
So I had this issue after WOT for 10/20 seconds... F1 alarm triggers & sound start beeping forcing me to disconnect the kill switch for few seconds. Once rebooted it runs perfect again if I keep riding @ 40 mph or lower speed.
1) I checked for electrical component failure. OK
2) Manual activation on bench +8v OK
3) Blow air through openings. OPEN NOT OK
4) Pry open the valve and cleaned with brake cleaner, toothbrush & swab OK
5) Assembled back and tested on bench OK
6) Installed back to the ski and tested with engine running. OK (pulsing open/close)
If it fails again... it's not because the valve itself but for all the oil/debrief getting pushed through the hose.
So I do not consider it is necessary to replace the valve for a brand new (clean) one @ $115.-) but to add a inline small air filter instead might be the permanent solution.
Good luck
