Guys need some advice on two things.
96 XP is running lean at high RPM and bogs down.
What I have Tried:
Carb clean-out and new carb kit from makita. Reused the old springs. Still runs the same as before
Looked for any leaks of air or water that I could find. Found the thing hooked to my muffler had a puncture in the diaphragm so I plugged that witha temporary fix and it is not leaking anymore. That was not the problem
I bypassed the gas valve with the Reserve, On and Off settings. Still runs the same.
I have the old gas lines but not a single drop of ethanol gas has ever gone in it.
But I think a full gas line redo my be my next step.
Any other ideas?

A guy just sold me a 2003 Seadoo GTX. Took it out for the 1st time and within 10 miles of riding it stopped working all of a sudden. I had to swim it to the nearest dock which luckily was owned by a boat enthusiast who helped me check it out. We took the plugs out and one of them was covered in copper colored metal fragments. He says the crank blew and my heart dropped. So now I am thinking back to when I was talking to the previous owner and he had mentioned he had spark plug troubles. Did he or his mechanic know what was about to happen or am I being paranoid?
So now what is the absolute best way to get a new motor in this near Syracuse NY?
