hey whats up everyone. Finally got this thing in the water. IT FLOATS!! haha. it was in an accident a few yrs back and has been a project ever since. taking the back seat to other projects for a while as well. but ran it today :)
First i have a few questions that i cant seem to find answers.
-on the carbs, which needle is the high speed and low speed? i cant find this answer anywhere! lol
-being i didnt know which one was which, i set to 1 1/2 and 1. then ran it, and switched screw positions to see if any different. NOPE
-also what does this pop off pressure do?
-what should my idle screw be set to. I dont have a tach..I know i should use it when tuning. trying to find one for cheap.
ski used to run great with zero issues and not a single part was changed. meaning, i didnt change any jets, heads or anything.
Well, i got the ski to run, at half throttle its breaking up pretty bad. almost sounds like its misfiring and being held back. BUT...If i go full throttle then it runs great. smooth and power is there. Ive played with the screws all day long today. either it runs like this. or its breaking up through whole range.
Also, it bogs down hard when turning left. like a hard left. I cant whip the ski. just bogs down.
i dont remember what size jets are in there. im taking carbs apart tomorrow being its gonna storm.
So please any help on carb adjustments would be great. ive read and keep reading over the carb tips in these forums but cant seem to find an answer to my questions.
-Carbs were redone years ago, but only had maybe 4 rides on rebuilt carbs. i did winterize the motor and it was always garage kept, i know stuff can still cause a blockage through years of sitting.(even though covered and stored) i will clean tomorrow.
I just find it weird that im having a mid range issue with top end being ok.
