Okay, I have rebuilt the carbs, put in new 1.5 N/S, kept main jet 135 and pilot 100, new 115 gram spring. Pop offs all at 50 across the board, doubled check valves, low and high speed adjusted per Mikuni specs, new plugs, primer installed.. just installed for premix and loaded up fuel tank at 40:1.
Ski starts up great in driveway, but low speed rev is rough.. like it is missing, and WOT will climb slower than expected then hit the top. With quick throttle bursts, I see air/fuel mixture come flying back at me when looking down carbs. Forum search indicates bad reeds will cause this..
My question: will the bad reeds cause the other symptoms (missing and rev problems) as well? Is my pop off pressure too high? It is hard to tell if it is too lean or too rich.. Don't want to lower too much and have dribble down the carbs.
Originally rebuilt carbs due to low end hesitation under load at the lake.
Also, since it looks like I need to replace the reeds, do you all recommend reed stuffers at the same time? I have read a little bit about these on the various forums.
Ski is a 1998 GP1200. Thanks in advance for your help.
