Trying to get 96 XP running. At first, after sitting for years, it would start and rev up on the flush hose but wouldn't get up and run. Classic symptoms apparently of gunked up filters and old gray lines, which was true. So I replaced all lines, cleaned fuel selector and did quickie cleaning of carb where I could get to their guts in the ski, including cleaning up the gunked up internal filters. Then it started, but would take no throttle before it bogged down, like getting too much fuel.
So I removed carbs and did a decent cleaning and bought rebuild kits, replacing the easy stuff including the internal filters and all gaskets and diaphrams, but did not mess with popoff valves. Also the internal valve assembly (held by two screws) would not come off on one side but the other side looked fine.
Put it all together and now it's doing the same thing as after I replaced the hoses--starts and idles but any throttle results in bogging down and stalling. Spark plugs are wet and gassy. Since it's the same symptoms as after I replaced the hoses, wondering if I did something wrong there. I was careful, but. . . Any suggestions? Greatly appreciate the help.
