Hey guys!!
I bought a 1995 sporster a little while ago! The boat runs and idles great, however I have a hard time starting it from cold. I think the carbs are WAY too lean cause it always smells flooded. (btw i have NO choke on at this point, ever...choking it will add more gas and flood even more) Also, I boat once a week and after the boat sits for the week it is eating up my plugs. I use NGK BR8ES I believe. The gap comes at .020" and i have read that .040" is the proper gap...I have tried everything from the stock .020" to .025, .030, .035, .038, .040"
Basically, I believe its a carb adjustment! What do I do?!?!?
After this issue is fixed, I will be squeezing some more HP out of it hopefully. I have done about $500 in upgrade to my 1997 Seadoo GSI with the same engine and I got about 7 more MPH top end when alone so if I could get 5 more mph (about 15hp i assume) from this motor in my sporster, that'd be great!
