Your oiler is oiling right? Just making sure that you have seen smoke and confirmed the flow.
My next move would be to try different carbs. I've had some that just would not run for some reason so I make sure to mark or discard those carb bodies. It's rare but it does happen. There is still the spark pick up possibility also. With that one you could put a cheap spark tester inline and watch it while it's running before you tear in.
Thanks Matt! I was thinking the same thing about the carbs. I actually just ordered a new set about an hour ago.
I did check the oil system. I put new lines on it about a week ago and watched the lines fill. I’ve got good flow there and have made sure all or the linkage is adjusted to spec. I do need to change the oil in the tank though. It does have an API-TC oil in it, but it’s a dual rated Pennzoil mineral oil, so I’m going to change it once I get this issue figured out. I know it goes against the grain here to use the dual rated stuff, but I’ve had good luck with it in non-rave motors, and it’s what was used before I had the ski. I’m dealing with enough variables already, so I didn’t want to add the possibility of oil gelling to the mix.
