its the (centrifugal?) force of the spinning engine that causes the jet ski to do a slow circle. im not sure if centrifugal is the appropriate term but i know it has to do with the force of the engines rotating mass.

Mikuni recommends using the smallest needle and seat possible to obtain your desired pop off, therefore i would say up your jet size. What makes you think its the pilot that is lean? You mentioned only turning 6890 rpms, so i assume your talking about top end. if it is running strong down low...

awesome. well the website that had them for 56 bucks says its on back order. they have them at the link below for $60 but they want 17 bucks shipping. I dont know what im going to do now. its a tuff choice between buying the sub assembly for 80 bucks new or buying a whole used unit on ebay...

About 50 bucks in parts and a couple hours of cutting welding and painting.

congrats man! sounds like you have great family and friends. you need to get that kid on a ski soon! btw props on your knee boarding skills. i thought i was bad ass doin flatwater 360's haha...

check your reeds

I think anywhere from 155-165 is ok. More important is that the two cylinders are equal or very close to equal in compression.
