I recently installed an SBT engine and have since run 7 tanks of gas through it trouble free....except I still have an idling problem. From reading other posts my problem seems to be opposite of others. It won't hold idle out of the water but idles absolutley perfect in the water. It also has no problems starting in or out of the water. When running it out of the water and revving the RPMs will rise and continue to rise before slowly coming back down and eventually shutting the engine down.
The only thing I have not done is replace the fuel pump. Kawasaki makes you buy the entire pump. Could this be my problem? Getting kind of sick of the Trial and Error method with the overly expensive OEM carb parts!
I have replaced diaphragms, gaskets, needles, seats, pop-off is 23 PSIG. I have also checked for air leaks around the reed cages, carb bases, crank, etc. and have found notta.
BTW, the original engine failure was due to submerssion and the carbs in question are not the ones that were submerged.
Thanks,
