91 Gt Pre Mix in hull flooded

[Butch 587]

Took the seat off this morning and found about a 1/2" of premix laying in the hull. Took out the plugs and cranked the motor full of fuel cleared the motor but have not tried starting it. Also hosed out the hull of gas. Had the ski running yesterday but shot some carb clean into the air intake just to keep it clean and this morning discovered this issue. Any ideas what happened? I may not have turned of the fuel yesterday but not sure that would cause the problem..

Thanks for any advise...

the needle valve in the carb may have stuck open, I had it happen once in my GTX.. Flooded the cylinders with fuel.. Sounds like your may have come out of the carbs.. Check to be sure you have no loose connections, turn the engine over with out the plugs to clear the cylinders.. Just cover the holes with a rag, It will will really shoot out...

Thanks Ron, makes sense, I did clear the motor earlier and it was full of fuel. Just wish I read your reply first about using a rag over the holes, it shot out all over the ski... Ugly....

That was it, took the rear carb apart the needle was stuck, cleaned things up put back together and running again...

Thanks..........
