I rebuild the carbs and did a new top end on the RX. Only rode it twice. I know it is lean as it tried to run away when I started it on the trailer but this didn't happen the other times I started it. When I get off the throttle it takes a couple of minutes for the idle to settle down to a consistent idle. It slowing drops from about 1300rpm to about 950. I'm pretty sure I don't have intake leaks I checked this thoroughly. I suspect maybe I have the Pop-off set too high or the accelerator pump may be leaking. I am going to remove the carbs and go over everything. Strange as I've not had a ski do this previously.
The run away began as I started the ski. I didn't let it idle very long maybe 10 seconds. When I opened the throttle a bit it tried to kill. I played with the throttle a few pumps then zoom. I figured it just didn't have enough fuel feeding the engine at the time. After water testing.... I'm comfortable that something isn't where it needs to be.
I plan on lower the pop-off and checking the accelerator pump. I'll look really hard at the carb intakes when I remount them. I will probably replace the fuel valve if that one isn't new. Am I missing anything?
