hello everyone, i got a chance to take out my new to me 96 xp out on the lake today. Rebuilt carbs with mikuni parts, popoff 32psi on both, no leaking seats or anything. i’m having a weird issue, the ski won’t go past 3k (i’m guessing as I don’t have an rpm gauge), but definitely around 3k rpm. it sounds like a rev limiter, i sit around 7ish mph wide open. i unplugged the red wire off the rectifier with no change, i actually got worse performance after unplugging. only 2 times the ski freed up and let me go wide open up to 40 mph, once i came back to an idle I couldn’t go past 3k again. 150 psi in both cylinders.new battery. fresh gaskets all around for exhaust and carbs. any ideas? i can idle around but it will kill itself every so often. new rectifier on the way just in case, the ski will rev past 3k on the trailer, thanks!
