The spring I had in the carb was at about 70 psi for pop off.
After changing it for one with 25 psi it is actually able to sustain full throttle but now it's just a pig and doesn't accelerate or get to its max rpm. I believe now it has to do with high and low springs which admittedly I know...
Sorry about the confusion.
The choke is completely disconnected and there is no cable or a choke pull. The choke plate is still attached to the carb but is in the always open state.
It has a primer with a tee connector on the on fuel line before the fuel switch which works fine and pulls...
Unfortunately it just has the primer and has the choke disconnected but left wide open. If I pump in the primer at full throttle it will rev up to full throttle but only for a short burst
I'm thinking it could be pop off which I haven't tested since I don't have a tester but I'm going to go get one tomorrow. I am sure that the carb was put back together correctly as I took my time and ensured it all all correct.
I figured out the first problem about the fuel. The carb rebuild kit came with two gaskets for the pump along with the plastic screen. I used both gaskets but apparently you are not supposed to use both. So after i changed that out the fuel started flowing no problem.
Now I am back to having...
Since I was able to use the primer to get gas flowing from the on fuel line I can rule out a complete clog from the tank up to the petcock/switch which I already cleaned and has no clog.
I've had the chance to take it out now and I got running for a short amount of time until it completely died again. Seems like it had the gas from when I covered it with my hand long enough to start and run and now it just will not pull gas from the fuel filter at all. Again it runs fine from...
I got it running with the hand trick. I'll send another update when I check new plugs on it for colour and check to see if it works in the water above the throttle amount I was getting before.
I believe at some point the fuel lines have been replaced since they are not rock solid. Pickups inside the fuel tank were inspected but didn't seem to have any issues
I have been trying to get my superjet up and running consistently after changing the carb internals.
Bought a new ski and previous owner mentioned it had sat for 1.5 years or so.
Ran it as is for a week or so before it would shut off randomly at full throttle so I decided to stop running it...
