I just picked up an 98 sxi pro . I had to drive 4 hours one way to pick it up. when i got there i did a comp test and the front had 150psi and the rear had 145 . It is in almost mint conditon. I was told that its been winterized for 2 years. I took it home drained the fuel and put new sparkplugs in. I put it in the water today , This is what happend . It idels fine , as soon as i get on the gas it took off . i was riding it at quater throttle and then cut out on me. The only way i could get it to start back up was to turn the choke half way on , get it going an gradualy turn the choke off . and then it would slowly die again , ect. It will run wide open . as soon as i slow down it dies . I relize i need to clean the carbs , they must be gumed up. but what im worried about is i did a comp test after i rode it and the front cyl still has 150psi , but the rear now has 134psi . im nervious i dameged the engine . I think it needs a topend now . so can anyone give me some advice on were i should get the pistons. And i was wondering if i could find a sxr cyl and topend . and it it would bolt wright up. I need avice asap . I just want to ride ....Thanks Frank....
