Hi all, first time ski owner and poster. I've been working on a 1996 GTI for a couple of months. Rebuilt carbs with OEM kits (pop off at 38 psi), new fuel lines, fuel filter, fuel switch, plugs, trimmed plug wires. I have it running great at speed - 50 mph. The issue is it is hard to start after running and getting engine warmed up. Seemed to have the idle screwed in quite a bit to get it to idle. Is it sitting and flooding after stopping? Appreciate any ideas for a fix!
 
I would double check the leak down on the carb to see if your needle and seat are leaking. There is also the slight chance that your pressure relief in the tank is keeping too much pressure and causing the needle and seat to leak but this isn't very common.
