Ok so this is the third post about my GSX, various issues. Only starting a new post as this is a complete new fault I'm getting.
The ski is still flooding when NOT running, when its running it will run all day long and not flood but it is flooding. If you turn the fuel off, wait 30secs and it will fire right up, turn the fuel on then it runs fine up to roughly 6000rpm. (Feels fast par the cavitation if you accelerate quickly).
After 6000rpm, sometimes it gets 6500 and occasionally it will go to 7k before misfiring and basically cutting out. If I accelerate from a standstill it will hit the limiter for roughly 2 seconds then die?
I was 90% sure this was electrical so changed the plug caps etc. But theres nothing left I can really change. (It is not running to lean, the plugs are coming out perfect in colour). I've tried adjusting mixture screws as to the guide on this forum with no luck. Its silly as it runs great. Idles well, picks up perfect, not sluggish whatsoever.
Anyway this is what I have done so if theres anything I haven't done please let me know. Thank-you.
Here we go;
Carbs gone through, needles and seats changed, new kits in both carbs.
New fuel lines, got rid of my primer bulb, tried bypassing the fuel filter etc, cleaned fuel selector and checked o-rings etc.
New plugs, new ignition coil, new ht leads and new plug caps.
Replaced grounds etc in the rear electric box.
Tried swapping out the rectifier for a known good one.
Checked and cleaned the rave valves.
Checked and cleaned the stator, checked the rotary valve timing, checked the flywheel key.
All multipugs and connections opened up/inspected/cleaned.
As the ski is cavitating when I accelerate hard I've just ordered a new wear ring. I took the pump off today and could see it was quite badly damaged. I've got the old one out and am in the process of cleaning up the impeller, it has a few marks but overall very good condition.
When my wear ring comes I'll try it again but still am lost with it? A wear ring won't solve my starting issue but might help the top end?
Any ideas please help me.
