Ok, the plot thickens and I'm not sure if I'm dealing with one problem or two. In addition to the ski not shutting off properly, it is also not fully opening up at WOT on the water. It only revs up to about 3/4 and then sort of coughs. When it coughs you can hear the rpms pick up to the level...

Vrizi, the engine rpms don't change as per a lean condition. The ski runs normally, engine sounds normal....It just won't shut off. :) Thanks!

Thanks for the tips! I've checked them and the wires seem to be fine.

Kev...I don't get it. I mean sure this is neat and all, but rather than spend your time on this, we could be working on my rolling toilet idea. THAT idea will make us a mint! Seriously though, very impressive. I'll swing over and check it out. I also want to talk you in to making a new hood for...

I have a '96 Yamaha WaveRaider that has a problem. The ski will not stop running by using the stop switch or removing the lanyard and engaging the kill switch - I have to flood it to get it to stop. I have replaced the switch with a known good unit and the issue persists. The ski will not start...

Hi all! I have a 94 750sx with Westcoast Head, Pipe, intake, exhaust manifolds and flame arrestor. I am running a single Mikuni 44 carb and would like to know the carb specs that I should be using. Based on the information, what jet sizes, needle, seat and pop-off pressure should I be using...

Ok, get your mind out of the gutter. This isn't that kind of post! I am the new owner of a decent 94 Kawi SX. I've got the service manual and have been gradually going through the ski, checking things out and making minor repairs. I recently removed the pump to check it out and I noticed that...
