i bought 100ft of clear purple fuel line off ebay for like 50 bucks or so. fuellineguy i think is his name. sweet lines for sure

 

[daverade]

they probably look sweet in there too purple lines goin everywhere...good deal paid about $55 at auto zone for 50'!

 

[daverade]

so doin this rebuild this weekend... is there a hsa/lsa on both carbs..mag and pto? or is it just on the mag carb?

 

[voodoo]

The screws are on each carb, are those colorful lines USCG approved? I was advised to get fuel line with braided something, I used 10 inches of clear/braided for everything at the motor and followed with black normal autozone lines the rest of the way to the tank/s.

 

[daverade]

cool voodoo... i am using the black stuff from autozone....its braided... also since there is both adjustments on both carbs... do i set them the same i think at bottomed out lsa @1 1/4 turn out and hsa @ 1/4turn out? something like that? and fuellineguy's stuff is probably uscg approved, his stuff is pretty legit!

 

[voodoo]

Same on each to get started, I use a plate with bubbles from my much younger motorcycle days to match the carbs idle and flow rates, I do not know what that thing is called but it has a tilting tube and the rising must match from carb to carb, I found it in toolbox when my daughters boyfreind showed up with a 3carb polaris jetski about 5 years ago, once we got that thing going I became hooked on the jet drive, spent many years as a blo-boater, so nice to drive to the dock.

 

[daverade]

sweet... are my settings right or do i have them backwards?

 

[seadooya]

pm'ed yuo with lsa/hsa settings.

 

[daverade]

seadooya be pimpin it this weekend at some lake with his finely tuned machines! lil jealous!!!!

The carbs aren't too bad to work on. Are yours badly corroded or relatively clean? You might need an impact driver for the 2 screws inside the fuel chamber by the needle and seat. Behind that aluminum part is a small check valve. The rest of the screws come out easy with a good no2 phillips or a good flathead to break them loose.
