update
Got parts from parker in today and have both carbs at 142.5 high speed jets now. This is what the book calls for. The 147.5 I used on the pto was from another book and for the xp or something, not the boat. Changed pop off springs and went from low 20's to low 30's (32 or 33 psi). Tested 3 times on both carbs and used some wd40 each time. Needle and seat held pressure fine also. No bubbles at 25+ psi.
Also rebuilt rave valves with new boots, rubber o rings and also put on lower boot small spring clamps from a 947. I was using zip ties as the book never called for any clamps. Turns out the 947 has the same rave vales and they used spring clamps on the lower part of the boot. New gaskets as well. The valves themselves and the bases have maybe 30 hours on them (factory seadoo goods here, not cheap) and I cleaned them till they shined.
Hoping I get 7k plus rpm, good color on plugs, and no oil blow by from the rave valves. Will go to lake tomorrow morning if not raining. 20% chance of rain, mid/high 80's, and partly cloudy. Not the best of days. Sunday though it will be sunny and 97. May wait till then. It s tough though. I really want to test this.
