After i build carbs i checked pop off and lever height on the needle an seat then put diaphragm and cover on and installed to ski it ran great on trailer shut it off and tried to restart it it would not restart pulled plugs and they were flooded.
So i cleared fuel flooded engines by starting with throttle wide open so i shut it back off and watched fuel pour down the ventures in the carbs for like 20 seconds lots of fuel.
i removed the carbs again and checked Assembled pop-off and it was really low so i had to adjust the needle levers slightly lower then pop-off was good except the carb that has the fuel pump on it would not hold pressure for longer than 10 seconds so i sprays all around carb with pb blaster and kept putting air in till i found the new gasket i installed on the carb under fuel pump between fuel filter and top plate was leaking air so i took it back apart thinking i missed a gasket but all where there so i oiled the gaskets with 2 stroke and put all back together and torqued the 4 screws really good with my battery impact driver, retested pop-off and voila it holds air for a 30 seconds or longer pop-off on each carb was 20 psi each put em back on ski and after a 30 minute tuning session at the river it back to running and No More FLOODING.
Always check your pop-off after carbs are fully assembled before you install back on ski.
I have a hesitation at 3000 rpm and you can work the throttle to get past it and the ski runs fast 6700 rpm but the dead spot is there i Guess high speed screw needs adjusted out more but it out almost 3 full turns any help or info on this would be great thanks.
