then what could it be? could it be running that rich? because it feels pretty good so i think i'm good, but maybe not?

You're probably way too rich if you go through gas that fast.
On adjusting the idle... turn them in 1/8 turn increments until you know where it idles the best, then adjust them more precisely. It's best to ride it inbetween tunings, it takes the carbs a bit to adjust.

I took mine down to the river today. It ran OK, but I did not get over 1/4 throttle, maybe hit 1/2 on short blips. Nice and responsive but the cylinder was running hot. Plugs look like they are rich b/c of the carbon deposits but since it was not really run hard that is not a very reliable indicator. Seemed to run best with 1.5 out on the low and 1 out on the high. I need to think it over again before putting it back in the water, I did not like how hot it was running......sounds to dangerouly lean to me. It also does not want to start w/o a couple blips of the throttle.

the jet or the adjustment

I think you are right, I will get an assortment of jets for tuning. I think I am close, maybe even bumping it up to a 112.5 or 115 main jet will help. That 110 just sounds a little small for the motor set up.

if you cant get over 1/4 throttle then you are in the low speed side of your carb
reduce your pop off
the low speed jet is not the very bottom
its your midrange
in fact i dont know why they dont call it the everything jet
becaus eit effects so much of your jetting
when you start to get down and towards the back on your ski thats your high speed jet
your problem to me sounds like to small a polit
or to high a pop off pressure making the low speed come on to late

I am getting ready to order some jets. What do you think get everything from 115-125 for the main and 115-125 for the pilot as well? That should cover me range wise. I definatly think that main jet is to low, not to sure on the pilot yet. I just hate tuning on a new motor, in this situtation I would rather be fat and let the motor break in over being lean when the motor needs lubrication and air the most. It is just tricky b/c it would definatly hit.

What are the specs on that motor?

Whoever built your motor and recommended the rest of your setup should be able to tell you this. Whoever did your port work and figured out the rest of your package should be able to get you within a jet size. He really should be able to get you within screw range. I'm sure you paid good money for expertise and that's what you should be getting. You'll never get it tuned over the internet with help from people(many of whom are here asking the same questions about their own motors) who've never even seen your motor. If you can't get the info you need from your builder, the bottom line is you need to give the carbs what they tell you they need by patiently tuning through the various circuits. Good luck!:smile:

Much less so if he has the correct jetting specs from the start. When I get my stuff back from Jetworks, even on wierd stroker stuff I'm usually within a jet size or two. If it's a combination he's built many times, it's normally within screw range. If I have a problem, I call Art and since he knows EXACTLY what my setup is in every detail he can almost always get me squared away quickly. That's why he's the man!!!:biggthumpup:

Charles has some good points, however, I rode the ski and am not guestimating. Other people experiences are nice to back up my inital feeling of the ski is to lean on the main jet. I made adjustments at the river but, from my experience, the leanness is caused by a jetting problem and not an adjustment issue. Since I am still kind of putting around on the new motor I would rather jet it rich and work my way down than score the cylinders from an excessive lean condition.
