xp issues

[overkill0250]

i recently acquired a 96 xp. it had sat for almost 6 years. the ignition coil was bad so i replaced it. then found that the electronic module also needed replaced. after that it starts up fine and runs good.....until it warms up n the engine cuts out. once it starts acting up i can grab the throttle and itll pull out of the water.. then it looses power and runs bad. tried new plugs but now thinking maybe a carb issue. but dont understand why it runs fine cold then gets worse the more its run. any help appreciated.

thx

im having the same problems im currently replacing old gray fuel lines with black ones from an auto parts store. you might want to clean your fuel selector the thing that has on/off/reserve. im bypassing it with a simple in-line on/off switch. clean fuel filter and carb. and im also bypassing the stock fuel filter with an in-line one. hope this helps. also make sure your sparkplugs are marine im not sure how much this matters but they burn hotter than regular sparkplugs.

well i replaced the lines and pulled the carbs found a small filter in each that were really clogged. i think that might have been my problem.

now unfortunately when i was removing the air box bracket one of the allen bolts fell thru the carb without me knowing and is jammed inside the motor. not sure where to go from here.
