Hi everyone,
I just picked up a 1994 SL 750 last week and have a few questions.
- Throttle response: it seems like there is a "low" and a "go really really fast" setting on the throttle and little in between. If you smoothly accelerate it goes fine and then wham it takes off at a certain point. Originally I thought fuel starvation, but I pulled the choke a bit while doing it to see and it overfuels and bogs. Carb adjustment maybe? The thing hits 45MPH on the crappy speedo, and the hull is pretty scuffed up so I take it's running pretty well.
- Water in hull. First time I had it out there was a decent amount of water in the hull when I took it out (probably a gallon or two). Figured out that the spedo line was off the barb, so fixed that, now there is about half of that after a 35min ride (so about a gallon). I checked the clamps and such but no dice. Any ideas where that amount of water could come from?
- Oil Injection. Is there any way to check to see if the oil injection is working properly? I believe it is as the plugs have a bit of oil in the threads when you remove them.
Thanks,
Kris
