WB1 not running @ low speed

[dresch11]

I have a 96 dual carb wb1 that is not running well @ low speed or idle. I did have water in the fuel last week, but i drained the fuel, cleared the lines, & installed a carb rebuild kit. I started it today & it idled high. when i put it in the water it would bog down as soon as i hit the throttle. the only way i could get it to go was by using the primer. Once i squirt fuel in w/ the primer, i can get the ski to run. At full throttle it runs perfect, but as soon as i bring it back to idle it barely runs & sometimes stalls. Any ideas? thanks!

you answered your own question, its a fuel issue for sure. check the low speed adjustment first. maybe didn't clean out the low speed jet as well as you thought, I'd go through the carb again and make sure. it doesn't take much to clog up the low speed jet. also water has a funny way of displacing fuel and getting stuck in the carb.hope this helps

I'd also check the 3 or 4 tiny holes in the carb throat. It's something people dont clean these like they should.

thanks for your ideas. After fooling w/ the low speed adjustment on both carbs, it ran perfect. i guess after cleaning the carbs, it needed an adjustment to compensate for any debris, etc. Again, thank you very much for your help.
