Finally got some fun riding time out of it the past week.
In the past I was only able to get the ski up to about 5300 rpm, couldn't get past 49mph.
My crank is within index, firing order is correct. All those things are now confirmed.
On Saturday went out riding with some friends and it looks like I can get it up to speed intermittently. I was able to hit 61 on the dreamo in a mild chop. Much better than before as I was also able to rev up to about 6350 rpm. Then other times it would do the same thing, midrpm stutter and can't get past 5400 or 5500 rpm.
There's no pattern, doesn't matter if it's hot or cold. I can go up one way at WOT and hit close to full rpm, turn around after slowing down to make another pass and it won't hit full rpm anymore. Rinse, repeat.. same thing. It sounds kinda like a misfire if you ask me. Hard to tell for sure though.
Carbs are clean, recently rebuilt as far as I can tell. I cleaned them out anyways when I had my motor apart (air leak caused #1 piston to hole out previously).
Plug wires have all been snipped short to expose core and boots threaded back in.
Stator/CDI is not the updated model as far as I can tell. I still have a ground wire coming out of the box onto my negative battery post.
I know this might be a tough one to troubleshoot online, but I'm hoping someone has seen this before and might be able to say "yep, that's your stator"...
I don't want to throw parts at it blindly, but I'm willing to try with a little guidance. I want it to run well consistently :).
