I didn't see any restrictor jet in the old hose. (see attached picture) The old hoses were destroyed when they were disassembled, so thats why they are being replaced. Unless that white "T" has a restrictor in it, there was no restrictor that I saw.

I just tried that and nothing came out the outlet port it. Just to make sure I did this right, I hooked a basic 1/4" hose to the inlet and put that in the fuel, then I pumped. Was that the correct procedure?
That's what I'm thinking. It soaked in carb fluid for 4 days and I still can't seem to get it unclogged. Maybe I'll need to buy a new one

Wait, I thought the 1/4" was inlet and 1/8" was outlet. If the 1/8" is inlet, I've been doing it backwards. I assumed the 1/8" went to the injectors and the 1/4" was inlet
Put the carbs on the table with the throttle down and the choke up....
There will be a small hose on the bottom that goes from the bottom of the carb to the bottom of the accelerator pump, this is the inlet to the pump and has the restrictor jet in it (Red circle Below).
The restrictor jet location is (In Yellow Below).
The pressure line that squirts into the carb is (in green below).

Well, I thought that was a tempo line so I replaced it with another hose. I guess I'll need to get a restrictor jet for the new hose?
Hose #81 supplies the accelerator pump #83 is the restrictor jet that is in the hose.

Crap, they don't sell them. I found them Here. Do I have to put it in the hose myself? How do I secure them?
Or, can I go without them?

Well, my mechanic got it unclogged, but it apparently destroyed the valve
Hopefully I can just buy a replacement red valve in the accelerator. I don't see it as a single part on the diagrams

Just an appreciative and happy update here.
I've never worked on engines before and I only got here thanks to this forum, so thank you all. Especially, @FL-Rider @mikidymac.
After all the many suggestions, I rebuilt the carb and unplugged the accelerator pump and the injectors on the carb body. While the ski was open, I replaced all the original tempo lines in the ski (that was the worst part of this whole project) While I had the tank accessible, I pumped out the old fuel and put new/ fresh fuel in, changed the fuel filter, oil filter and put new xps oil in. I tested it on hose water and i had water coming out of the main jet so I'm hopeful it will work in the lake.
Since i pulled the carb on my other, identical ski, i actually used that accelerator pump (once I unclogged it) while i wait for a replacement umbrella check valve that was destroyed in my original accelerator pump.
Anyway, long post to say thank you all got all your help. I was actually surprised when it fired up as I had rebuilt the carbs and re-ran all the fuel lines and I was feeling a little depressed and out of my league. But I definitely couldn't have gotten the workout the forum, so thank you.

I'm glad you got it running... Where did you find the red check valve replacement? I searched everywhere and couldn't find them. I could find the pump diaphragms, but not the check valves.
I found a square accelerator pump assembly at OSD, but its for the 40i carbs.
