So was riding around and the ski just bogged down at WOT after an hour or so of riding...with a few stops.
I've pretty much replaced everything that needs to be replaced over the past year (see list below).
One odd symptom that I have not seen when I searched the forum is that top speed WOT comes back when I give it a little choke and then bogs back down when I let go of the choke. This mean it's running rich or lean?
Don't think it's electrical since everything has been replaced. Starts and idles fine. At 1/3rd throttle gets up on plane and runs about 25mph.
Pulled both carbs off to clean the filters yesterday. Front one (rebuilt last summer) had some debris so cleaned that out. Rear carb filter had a hole in it. I have an inline filter so just put it back so it would seal up properly.
I'll order a rebuild kit for the rear carb but want to see if I can get it running for the weekend as is...
Thoughts?
1996 SPX 717
Compression high end of spec
New fuel lines
New gas
Fuel selector works fine
Front Carb rebuilt (did it for the fuel pump)
New Rectifier
New plug wires
All new starting system
New plugs (.020 gap)
Fuses in the grey box are good
Rebuilt jet pump
None of the gauges work...next winter's project.
