need carbs

[Fscott4]

I have a 93 GTS and Im looking to replace the carbs at a reasonable price. New to the PWC and need a little advice on where I should be looking for a fair deal.
Thanks!

You could always give Nick at West side power sports a call and see if they have any.

The real question is why replace them vs rebuilding the ones you already have?

Would this be a 587 engine? Sent you a PM.

The ones I have do have some corrosion on some of the inside surfaces. I could probably clean them up but I also noticed there is a small plate held by 2 tiny screws in each carb and the screw heads have been stripped...I have no idea what is behind those tiny plates and whether or not I can ignore them.

Send a picture of what the carbs look like, inside and out.

Almost everyone rounds out the heads on those two screws you are talking about. Lots of carbs have some oxidation or rust evidence in them when you take them apart for rebuilding.

You have to grind the ends off the screws for throttle and choke plates they are punched to prevent them from backing out

You can usually get those screws out of there. Not sure if these are the ones that fit your ski. Came off a 587. You can probably fix yours.

where will I find replacement screws? is it a problem if I just leave them alone and not even go under those plates? I also see the needle seat screws are rounded but the seats look very clean so Im just gonna change the needles.

No, you need to change the seats and under the plate are the jets and a mylar check valve that has to be replaced.

You can get replacement screws from OSD seadoo along with the rebuild parts.

Maybe I read wrong thought you were referring to the butterfly plates

 

[Fscott4]

I was able to drill and remove the screws so the carbs are completely apart and I'm gonna rebuild them. I see that the corrosion isn't uncommon with the jetskis, I'm just not used that that.
I now notice that the 2 hose nipples on the carbs are confusing me. on one body I can blow thru both nipples and they are clear and open to air flow, on the other body only one of the nipples is open and clear for air flow and the other appears to have a factory plug in it. Curios to know why that is? end of a circuit (fuel/air)?

Pictures?

The nipple on top that comes out at an angle (up/right) is not clear for air flow.

Probably the return line. Yes, all should flow air and cleaner.
