So my machine will start up in the water.. i can normally get one solid burst of speed then it will bog down and shut off. When it bogs down if i pull the choke it will pick revs back up and get another burst of speed it seems as i can find a sweet spot and keep it running sometimes. Before i have to take carb off can anybody think of anything else that could be causing this issue. The previos owner told me carbs and topend were recently done

Never believe the previous owner when it comes to carb work... You need to go through the whole fuel system on any ski that’s new to you, so that you know exactly hats been done to it.
Replace any grey fuel lines with black automotive line, replace the fuel selector and O-ring on the water separator, and rebuild the carbs with genuine Mikuni parts and new needles and seats. That will get you going again!

I’m not sure about the line. Unfortunately I don’t have an SP to look at... I think it’s a battery vent line though, which would make sense to be unhooked since most new batteries don’t use the vent anymore...
