This spring my son bought a 1988 Kawasaki 550 standup jet ski. It has a rebuilt motor in it done by a mechanic from a local dealer (after hours). It will start fine out of the water; I have rebuilt the carb, checking the popoff psi and installed clear fuel lines so we could see if it is getting fuel.
Once in the water is very hard to start and the plugs foul out constantly (40:1 mixture) it appears to be getting water in the combustion camber. Could this be coming in through the exhaust? Compression is good approx. 135# each. It has a modified exhaust (factory tube). Thanks
