My 1996 GTS SeaDoo had been parked for about 6 years due to a bogging problem, during that time I had replaced the fuel lines. Last fall I removed the carb and found the pump filter was clogged. This spring I put it in the water and ran great for about 15 minutes, then bogged and died. Thinking something must have plugged up I pulled the carb again and installed a carb Winderosa kit. This is where my trouble really started, I lost the needle valve spring (never do a carb kit on a picnic table in the sand), the kit I purchased came with 4 springs, I picked a spring and put the carb back in. At this time I noticed spring was not properly on the oil pump lever and was just rolling around, I must have taken it off for some reason I don't remember. I fixed this, when I checked the plugs they were wet, after a long period of starting and cleaning the plugs I got the Seadoo running and the oil out. Now when I rev up the engine it just bogs. I have tried all 4 springs and did a "pop off test" and appears to be in the range with the longest silver spring.
I'm sure my problem wasn't the carb, but the oil pump spring.
Any suggestions on what I have may messed up doing the carb kit? FYI, I did remove and clean the two jets.
