My answer was not a definitive YES as I was only going off of memory, and I stated that. Either way, it is not going to hurt trying with your lines crossed up. You just have to test it out.

Blow the air out, connect the delivery line to what you think is the delivery port and then crank the engine. If gas sputter out of the other port (return) you got it right, if nothing comes out, switch the delivery line to the other port.

Go to the parts microphiche (I think rampage gave you a link for one) or at BRP, look at the carb diagram, you can clearly see the line coming from the fuel filter and the one to the tank...look at the carb orientation in the pic and in your machine...I am sure you can figure it out.

Also, that thread that Bills86e sent you has some great info, but keep in mind, not all Mikuni carbs are exactly the same. There are several different versions used in seadoos. That thread also shows a dual carb setup, and if I am not mistaken, you have a single carb.

Some carbs, the inlet and outlet ports come out and bend at a right angle, others, the ports come straight out, while others have them on opposite sides of the carb.

Ya I have a single and by the pic it looks like it's going to bottom, I have eveything hooked up but can get gas through the lines or fill filter up

Try the bag trick as posted by seadoosnipe here. Sometimes, they are just hard to prime.

Ok I got gas to fill up, started it in garage, went to pull it out to hook up water hose and when I went to start it it started clicking so I guess battery is dead

 

[djredman99]

HA!

Well, I guess this is a good time for some other helpful advice.

Make sure you do not crank the starter for more than 10 seconds at a time. Then allow 20-30 seconds to pass before you try cranking it again. Your starter will appreciate this!

PS. This has nothing to do with you battery dying, just keeps you from burning out your starter with all the starting you are attmepting.

Ya I have it on charger, I'm hoping it runs like it should, Im going to work so I'll mess with it later. I thank you a lot

 

[rpeters]

Well can't figure it out Im messing with it and It won't start but last night it did.. I notice it smoking put of the top of airbox a little. Didn't before amd Alot of smoke when I take out spark plugs

Fuel to the carb (from water trap) gets connected to the lowest port on the carb. Fuel return is the highest port and pulse is the middle port. I am sure this info is correct.

 

[rpeters]

Can a bad battery cause it not to run. It started, had a couple of puffs of smoke and shut iff

 

[rpeters]

Ya I'm not sure there's just smoke a Loy from plugs when taken out and from carb, it try to start then just dies. Last night it was starting everytime..ughhhh

Carburetor(s)
Not getting fuel, either from air leaking into the fuel supply line (usually filter separator/filter), a stoppage, or fuel pump on mag carb cant suck. Dribble a little
pre-mix in and start it, if it starts to die dribble a little more. If it keeps running then
thats the answer to the problem.
