The results are in picked up a compression testing kit and not one but both cylinders read 125 almost on the nose one at about 124 the other 125/126 so whats the next move? Gonna start pulling the carbs and hope my problem lies within a carb. If not it has to be electrical because the engine and exhaust check out fine and the impeller spins fine when it starts and the coolant system is working great. Lets just hope its not a magneto now
 
Sounds like your choke cable may have slipped. Had a 97 GTS that had a loose screw on the choke cable and choke would not open all the way. Started great but died right away, even when I pushed and pulled the choke. Remove the air box and use a mirror to see if the choke plate / plates are operating fully with the choke handle. If you still have to remove the carbs, try a torx socket bit in the stripped allen head. Sometimes the open edge of the torx bit will grip enough to at least break the bolt loose. This has work quite a few times for me on the SS Metric Allen bolts. For your restricted pisser, unhook your small hose from the exhaust pipe and put air to the blocked pisser. Noticed in your video that you have a garden hose to the exhaust side but it was only trickling out of the open pisser, I suspect you have blockage in your post engine cooling lines. If possible, remove the carb side hose and take each hose and put air to them in both directions. I doubt if your blockage is in your head or block. Good luck
 
Pisser is already fixed and my choke is opening and closing fine airbox is off and has been before nothing abnormal about the choke. Goes from full open to half choke to locked in full choke and has great response from the choke handle.
 
A few more questions. Does the oil and gas mix in the carb? If so could the fact I have no oil return line be causing too much fuel to oil causing the heaps of white smoke I see and causing the engine to just die when it loads up with too much oil? Simply put it if I have no oil return cable and spring is all the oil in the carbs forced through the engine? Noticed I was literally pooring oil out of the back end today and that the amount of smoke coming from it is almost ridiculous.
 
How do i remove the throttle cable from carb?

Also you can see the broken wire if you zoom in.
 
So I would try to help, but have no idea what ski you have. I see from a post that it is a smaller motor. Please update your setting to show you real location and the type of ski you have. That would really help. I would look up the manual for you ski, but have no idea what you are fixing....

To remove that cable you loosen the nuts on the cable and then slip the cable out of the mounting bracket. Then rotate the cable to pull the end out of the oil pump.
 
Ok so I got the cable and had to slash the fuel pulse line to get the thing off (going to replace it anyways) but I stripped two screws on the tops of the carbs
 
Can't figure out how to change it or I would guys its a 95 spx with 657 x i believe once i can figure it out I will change I ski on ohio river
