I have a I have a 1996 xp that won't start in the water but fires up out of the water. I pick the machine up out of the water and put it in the water running it runs. I turn it off in the water it won't start.
The compression is 160 on both cylinders. I did a rebuild on the carbs and had a problem with the ski flooding after it was shut off for a while because the needle valve was being held a little open by the aftermarket Diaphragm gasket. To fix that problem I bought the Mikuni rebuilt kits and fixed that problem. When I tested the pop off it was at 36 to 39 on both carbs which is at the high end of the range. (range is 27 to 39). Battery is good new plugs I just can't figure this one out.
Also when I had the flooding issue the ski did backfire a couple of times when I was trying to figure out what was wrong.
Any help would be appreciated.
