Thank you so much for this answer. I think I will take your post as is and send it straight to the dealer. It may put a bit of oil on the fire (tell me about it) but your analysis is dead sharp.
Also, I think the needle was not replaced (it came up in a conversation). As for the fuel lines, they are black. I saw a little grey/red wire connecting something withing the carb but otherwise, no grey fuel lines (I checked that a while ago after reading on this forum). Fuel filter gasket was replaced. I am using premium gasoline only (91 octane), does this one have Ethanol as well?
I think I am going to rattle the cage!
I paid my ride 4,000.00$ back in June and then spent 4,000.00$ (CAD dollars) to fix it when it broke. I made that choice because I paid 100,000.00$ in cash last year for my dad's cottage and I felt I didn't have the budget to buy a brand new ski for 16,000.00$ here in Canada. But I am now at half this amount and I now deeply regret my choice, not being very good in mechanics (but I can dismantle and rebuilt any computer you want).
And while they fixed it, they cracked my oil filter and it has been dripping slowly since then. Nothing big, but I don't want to dirty the inside of the hull (but a rag around it). I am watching it every hour until I can get a new one in a few days.
By the way, I will not name the dealer name for obvious reasons... But they are supposed to be the biggest in Canada...
Thanks.
Benji.
