After chasing my tail with this project it still is not running correctly.
*I have replace the gray lines
*Cleaned the fuel selector
*Cleaned the filter under the dash (on top of the oil tank)
*Cleaned the small filter in the carb
*Cleaned the gunk in the barbs of the carb
*Drained and replaced old two-stroke oil with original SEADOO oil
*Replaced the original White oil injection lines
*Primed the oil in the new lines
*Checked the compression (135 both cylinders)
*Both plugs are dry and have a slight smell of gas and have a Brown shade to them (Can post pictures if necessary)
In a previous post I was leaking oil from one of the oil injector lines that cause one cylinder to run lean. I replaced the oil lines and fixed that issue.
This is the "comes and goes issue"
We were running the ski for about 3 hours today with about 5 minute driver brakes in between. For the first 1 1/2 hours the ski ran really good then towards the last 1/2 hour the ski died when applying any throttle over 3/4 to full. It would start right back up after it died and sometimes the idle would be a little high then a blip of the throttle and it went back down to normal. The ski does not hesitate at all when going from idle to WOT but after a few seconds it will die to the point it shuts off. You can run the ski at 1/2 throttle and it runs fine, just slow as h@## and not much fun.
I'm looking for opinions here. I'm assuming that a high speed jet is clogged so I was thinking of rebuilding the carburetor but I'm not sure if buying the rebuild kit, pop off tester, tuning and the skill level required is worth it. Should I save some time, trial and error and have someone else (Dr. Honda) do it and be done with it?
