ok so heres a rundown of my 94 x2... it has a coffmans pipe & headpipe with an 86 waterbox, stock 38mm carb, & solas impeller. i have the oil blockoff and run 32:1 maxima premium 2 with 93 only. tested the compression and have an equal 155 in both cylinders.
now heres the issue... when i first start the ski i get smoke coming back out the carb somewhere and i cant pinpoint where exactly it comes out from. the smoke reduces after it runs for a little while but it has made exhaust particles build up around the entire engine compartment recently.
Could this be my reeds?
Also, not sure if this is a related issue, but sometimes (increasing in frequency lately) when i start the ski back up in the water, it will bog down off the start and the only way i can get it back up on plane is to hold the throttle just over idle for a little while (10 - 20 seconds) and then it will let me accelerate normally.
If anyone can point me in the right direction i would greatly appreciate it.
