    OEM 760 44 carb throttle valves

    You could salvage those plates, straighten out the deformations and file down rough edges. Yes you might not have 100% ideal tolerances in that area at least it wouldn't have the angle mismatch (and leaky seals/bad bushings). For most people id say just leave it alone or get new carbs, if...

    Looking at SJ on CL, looking for opinions on this deal.

    The 2008 hull is a lot more than a 96 hull with sponsons, it is completely different, the set back pump, the transom shape, the strakes are different. I still ride a 2003 and love it, you should try both if possible. Highly built older skis are a lot of fun. However stock vs stock, the 08 was...
