Hey guys , im new to the forum , i just recently picked up a 96 gtx from a friend for a steal and rebuilt the top end. The cylinders had some scoring , nothing that a little honing wouldnt fix. after the hone , the cylinders looked alot better, still a little scored, but ok. so i got everything back together and it runs absolutly great on the trailer. i took it and put it in, nothing wont start. so i pulled it out just enough so only about 3/4 of the jet pump was under water and ran it for a bit, i checked to make sure it was getting cooling and it was. i could run it up to 4 grand no problems........but when i got down to 1-1500 it would get touchy , and if i let off, it would suffer out and die.......i pull it back out and it will start up again. plugs look loaded up, i have an additional oz. of oil per gallon of gas right now for break in purposes so i know its running rich. but when i compression test it , its giving me 118 on the front and 110 on the rear............from what i read, seadoo doesnt reccomend an overhaul for anything less than 100 ......so im wondering , should i rebuild the carbs? go after the grey tempo lines and selector? or what?..................i really dont want to have to rebuild the top end again.
