Okay so I took my freshly restored 96 XP out today for a little break in after new rings and gaskets and the like. Ran fine then somehow popped a cooling line and overheated and filled the ski with water. No big deal just drained the water and tightened the clamp down and waited for it to cool off. After all that it started right up idled fine and ran fine. After a few more minutes of riding I decided to go down to idle speed for a while to give it a rest and as soon as I hit idle it died. Was a pain to get back started but I eventually got it. It has always started up first try so this concerned me especially since it happened again and I was completely unable to get it started back again. I now have it home and realize the plugs fouled so I took them off and cleaned them up and tried to start again. It is still hard to get to fire but as soon as it fires like its about to run I let go of the start button and it just dies? Repeated this process several times and it still kills itself as soon as it cranks over? Sounds like an electronics issue *facepalm*
(The whole time I was riding the low end throttle response just wasn't there until a certain point when it just jumps up and takes off, assuming its a carb tuning issue (both were cleaned and rebuilt by me using genuine mikuni kits with needle and seat but I left the fuel/air screw where it was when I got it)
Here we go again....
Any help is greatly appreciated!
