Hey All,
I am having difficulty getting fuel to the carbs on this ski. After a carb rebuild (dual), last year I could get the ski to run fine, after a few cranks. On non starting days I shot a bit of carb cleaner into the carb and got the engine to fire and pump fuel. If it sat for longer than a week or so, it wouldn't start. I have a 95 GTX with no issues with starting as I rebuilt the carbs on that one and rebuilt the engine as well. I have rebuilt the carbs on the GT, replaced the fuel lines, cleaned out the tank filter and the tank selector valve. I added a secondary clear fuel filter in the engine compartment to view the fuel flow. After much cranking I do see fuel in the filter, but when removing the spark plugs, no fuel is present. Is it possible I'm not getting enough vacuum from the engine to make the diaphragm in the carb pump? What if I added an electric low pressure in-line fuel pump, would that correct this issue? Any advice would be great! Blessings JN:3-16
