Hi guys, new to this forum i've been reading a lot of threads and man is there a lot of knowledge here. Im a pretty handy guy and hate to say it but do not know what is going on with my ski. I purchased from a older gentleman who hadn't ran it in the past two years it still winterized from 2016 in his garage and is in amazing shape. That being said when I first brought them home I changed all the gas put a new battery in and sprayed some ether into the air box and it fired right up. About my third time taking it out i noticed the typical surging at higher rpm that I read all about over these forums so I went ahead and replaced all grey fuel lines, pulled carbs cleaned them up and the fuel filter in the carb as well. put everything back together it fired up for maybe 3 or 4 seconds died and now I cannot get it to run at all. I pulled both supply lines to the carbs and seem to be getting gas it doesn't flow right out but there is fuel there. I tried the plastic bag over spark arrestor to prime the system with no luck. even premix right into the cylinders and it still wont fire. Yes i do have spark and i cannot think of what the hell could be causing this. Thank you for any input, it is greatly appreciated
 
Seems like you did all the right things. I suspect carb redo may be faulty, assuming spark is good. Good luck. :frown:
 
Did you adjust your pop off and low speed screw? Your carb could have been adjusted to the lack of fuel beforehand and now that it is getting the normal supply of fuel it could be flooding. Check that your pop off and low speed screw are adjusted to spec
