compression is good impellere is stock its a small bog and spark plugs look like its running rich
its a little bog from both and no grey lines at all
I think the rectifier issue affects mostly top end RPMs when it starts to fail. Not so much of a lower end issue.
Test at the battery for A/C voltage. If you have some, disconnect the rectifier and see if the issue goes away..
It a free test and it is an easy one...

I can think of several things but before we start chasing gremlins
(although IMO the rectifier gremlin is worth the quick check)
(I tend to think rectifier, exhaust leak, maybe rave's, and maybe WRegulator but its not topping out low enough)
suarez, can you backtrack and give a history ?
was it always like this, how long have you had the ski... what have you changed recently, assuming it wasn't doing this before, or has it gradually gotten worse ? was fuel selector cleaned when fuel lines were done ?
a tad easier to diagnose with a 'lil bit of background on the ski.

yip... knowing what happened would be helpful.
who did the engine install, you, or a 3rd party. ?
tuner's ... refresh my memory.. is the goal around 6800 ?
(i still circle back to rectifier, exhaust leak (seen that before), gummy rave's, and maybe WReg, carb adjusters, slack in throttle cable, timing ?, but just throwing out idea's now)
took out rave valve cleaned them adjusted carbs to stock settings and new plugs gonna test out tomorrow on the water.. where should all 3 rave valves be set for best performance

IMO, that's good enough... were the raves gummy ? How did the water reg look ?
Rave valves weren't to gumed up but the carbs were way out of adjustment now at stock settings I get a bog when I try to go full throttle i need to creep my way into it
