Hey everybody. I'm new here so be freakin nice to me.
I've been a mechanic for 18 years, I've owned several different 2 and 4 stroke vehicles. 1 cylinder all the way to 10 cylinders. I've never found a problem that I was unable to solve with or without help.
That being said, here I am, reluctantly asking for your help.
I have a 1996 GTi 717. It is bogging and surging constantly. smooth water, rough water, hot out or cold. I have replaced the carbs with a very reputable company's rebuilt units. Tempo lines are gone. Filter is new as well as the fuel selector valve. fuel tank was refurbished this winter, pump inspected and checked for function. Everything checks out. New plugs too. I have not yet checked out the drive or electrical systems. Nor have I done any deep inspections into the engine. The exhaust hose seems soft but it isn't collapsing yet. I did find water leak on one of the welded plugs on the tuned pipe, that has been fixed as well.
Please post about any other repairs related to bogging that haven't been covered (fuel related) in 90% of the other posts on the web.
Thanks in advance!!
If I think of anything else I've looked at, I will edit original posting. here \/
Using the choke at any rpm kills the engine.
I can get her to go if I fiddle the throttle. Holding the throttle at about 1/4 to 3/4 seems to help find a sweet spot that will at least keep it moving.
Could a pair of unsynced carbs cause bogging issues?
