My Craigslist deal & dual 44mm Blackjacks. Jetting?

I got killer deal on a 94 701cc WaveRaider & big double Triton alum trailer off Craigslist locally. Of course the ad stated "Super fast jetski! Does 70mph!" :burnout:

Engine was put together by Jetworks in SC and has 67 (or maybe 6.7?) hours on it according to the TinyTach. It had a Twist non-girdled head, B pipe W/ WaveRaider kidney shaped chamber, and dual 44mm blackjack carbs on a BCW intake, Boysen dual stage reeds & reed stuffers with K/N flame arresters. I already pulled out the reed stuffers. I have not pulled the pump yet, but it also has a skat impeller, toploader grate, Riva rideplate, and an extended turn nozzle.
It never happens, but I feel like I really scored. The cylinders still have the cross hatch in them and the crank turns as smooth as silk. Also, the trailer is awesome!

Since the carbs are a mother to pull to rejet, I'd thought I see if anybody else is running them before I just throw it in and see what happens. I know they are not the greatest carbs for freestyle, but I'm going to give them a shot.

Currently, they have a 110 mains and 130 pilots. I think it would have been jetted fater for the heavier ski. Should I jet down or maybe I can make the adjustments in the screws?

Your best bet is to talk to Art directly at Jetworks. He'll tell you exactly what jetting/N&S to run and how to set them up. He also has some tips and tricks he'll go over with you. They also have all the jets and stuff and he'll throw it in the mail for you.

My bad, they are dual 44mm Buckshots. I did some googling and calling around, Andrew Buck make the Buckshot carbs but is no longer in the PWC biz.

I talked to Art at the real Jetworks yesterday. He would charge the same (about $180 each) to turn these Buckshot carbs into blackjacks as he would an OEM carb. I'd rather send him a stock carb to mod and sell these.
I wanted to try these buchshots first, so I guess I'll throw it all in and see what happens with the same jetting.
