cleaned carb filters & replaced fuel lines. Seemed to have solved my bogging issues. I know I need a wear ring and have that being shipped. Takes about 10 sec. to plane out with just me and won't with me and my 2 kids. Weird thing is, once it does plane out and running it wont turn left. It will turn right, although not sharp. The nozzle is ok, it moves left and right. Any ides? Is it just the bad wear ring issues? Thanks for the help.
 
Hey Power, I think your steering cable came apart on the inside. Have somebody hold the nozzle still and watch the cable as you pivot the bars back and forth.
 
Check the steering cable, it may need an adjustment.

Like a bike, align the handlebars with the jet.....90 degree "T" figure
 
Ever so slightly different model but the nut (equivalent to part 44 in Lou's link) sheered through the thread, but i had full steering left and nothing to the right.
Ive also had the adjustment on the HX work its way all the way to one end, that gave me half right turn with aggressive left turn.

If you set the bars straight and use a tape measure between a point on the corner of the ski and the nozzle edge, then put it on full lock each way and do the same. If its like the one in Lou's picture adjustment is easy on the ends of the cable
 
I figured it out. While changing the fuel lines I disassembled the thrust supports to get to the selector switch and didn't bolt it back up correctly. I guess looking at it harder, I didn't have to do that but it was a noob mistake. Thanks for all your replys though, I can always count on this forum to help me out. Thanks again.
