I have a 94 XP with SBT motor and about 15 hours on it. It acts like it ran out of gas, but it has gas in it. I replaced the spark plugs and it will start for a second and then stop. Inside the hull was clean and dry, so it did not ingest water....at least in the carbs. Could an internal gasket or seal have failed?
I use premix gas at 40:1. The top of the pistons are dark colored. The old spark plugs were kind of brown. The motor ran great up until this point.
I checked the compression and the mag cylinder is at 140 while the pto cylinder is at 150. I don't know what they should be at, but this seems high enough, just not close enough together. My 94 GTX with old motor is at 155 in both.
Is this some sort of seize? If not, then where do I go from here?
Please help.... :(
BTW, I had the carbs rebuilt by shop at time of motor replacement.
