So I think I just damaged my Superjet motor but I'm not sure what to do for my next step. I just replaced everything on the electrical system on my ski, Stator, cdi, coils from a no spark situation. I fired up the ski in my garage last night and it ran away. Pulled lanyard, spark plug wires and wouldn't stop. It was dieseling. I pulled the ski out of the garage because I didn't want to have it explode in the garage and it eventually stopped, probably 1 minute of high rpms until it died. After reading the x I should have just held it wide open but it was a bit hectic when this happened and I panicked. It's a single carb 701 motor that was running fine until the no spark situation.
Motor didn't sieze and turns over, I still have spark but I'm afraid to start it again because I don't want to grenade my motor.
I know I'm an idiot for not running it under load but I was excited to see it had spark again. There was definitely air in the fuel lines that I think caused this, haven't ever taken apart the motor or removed carbs.
What do you guys think about either throwing it in the water and giving it hell? Or should I take it apart and look for damage? My plan is to get a jetmaniac top end this winter anyways.
Thanks for your comments, I wouldn't have attempted anything without this forum.
