Just got my equipment in to test pressure. Cylinders are both just under 110 so from the looks of it, a rebuild is in my near future. Pop off was about 23 and 30 on the other so a little low on one. Adjusted and will see if I can get it going.

I agree that it's likely a carb issue. I haven't checked or replaced the rectifier. I'm gonna tear it down and check the pop off after I do a cylinder pressure test. I haven't searched for a fuel leak yet, but not a bad idea since I've replaced all the hoses and clamps. With these boats...

Well, I rebuilt the carbs with genuine mikuni kits, and not the boat runs fine on the trailer, but under load in the water it can't pass 2,000 rpm without bogging down and dying. I was able to nurse it up to 5,500 once. Spent a couple hours trying to adjust the low speed valves, but no luck...

Hello all, any help on my issue is greatly appreciated. 1996 Challenger with the 787. Was running fair before I rebuilt the carbs today. It would Idle fine, was choppy in acceleration to WOT but topped out well. WOT was only up to 5500 RPM, but oddly would go to 6000RPM if in a right turn...

I guess I would be in the “ride it till it dies” group with out this chat. It idles great, and top end is running smooth, just a little choppy in the midrange. Thanks for the heads up.

Just found my issue. When I put the rave valves back together, I didn't seat the bellows in the assembly. Just took the boat out for an hour and ran great. Glad it was an easy and free fix. It could still use a carb rebuild, but for now, all is great.

I don't have another one to try that but it seems like a good idea. I was worried about that so left the stem alone, which could also be a cause I guess.

Thanks for the reply. So gasket rub? Anyway to know or clean it?

Hey guys, similar problem with my 96 Challenger that I just started a thread with, but when I first get the boat in the water it runs great, but after going to idle I have the same issue. Boat revs to max out of water. This started after cleaning the rave valves. I don't have the rebuild kits...

Hello experts! First time post and you all have given me a lot of useful info so far and hope you can help me again. I have a 1996 Challenger with the single 787 engine. I cleaned the rave valves yesterday and took it out on the water today for a test run. It appeared that the valves have...
