Ive got two problems and I dont think they are related but they could be,
#1- My ski is retarded hard to start, It almost kills the battery just to get it started once it starts it runs great, It bogs down a little on 1/8 throttle when i really punch it but other then that it pulls great! Starting problem is when it sits for more then a minute with in that minute, i have to pull the throttle about a 1/4 runs like its rich and burns out excess fuel.
My jets; 100 Main, 120 Pilot 18 psi pop-off
#2- If I start my ski out of the water it will rev and bounce off the rev limiter, I'll pull the kill switch and the plugs wires and it still runs!!! I even pull the fuel lines it will run for 20-30 seconds before dieing.
This problem is kinda new, when i built my ski I did do a pressure test on the motor and it held, I realize this problem usually is because of a leak on the INTAKE side of the ski. could the intake manifold have loosened, or am i running too lean on my main jet?
ive been riding for 3 years and every year ive had nothing but problems every year and i love this sport but all ive done is wrench and im getting really tired and angry
Its a ported 701 with b-pipe 44 dual carbs msd enhancer tbm flywheel
PLEASE HELP
