I did not clean out the carb ports with carb cleaner yet for the following reason. I have four filters/screens protecting the ports in the carb: 1. In tank pick up screen; 2. Aftermarket triangular In line fuel filter; 3. OEM Yamaha fuel filter on the inside lip of the engine compartment...

@Penguin How is your troubleshooting going? My screen was perfectly clean. @Big Kahuna did you once have a fuel starvation at WOT due to a screwed up diaphragm? Could the bloated diaphragm be the problem? I replaced it but haven't ridden the ski yet. Photos below: Look at the rust on...

^^^ Brilliant! Will do and will report back.

One thing I haven't checked yet is the Check Valve which when working fully permits the same volume of air to enter the fuel tank to compensate for the vacuum which would otherwise be created by the equal volume of fuel being sucked out of the fuel tank by the vacuum created by the carburetor's...

Update: Still stalls at WOT. So will remove the carb and look for clogging in screen, fuel metering, etc.

^^^ Hey @Roseand would you post up a video clip of part of your performance? Your suit looks awesome! It reminds me of Teton Gravity's fantastic movie Fire on the Mountain

I have this on the fuel pickup in my FX1: Yesterday, the ski would die at WOT racing my wife. FX1Dave told me it was likely fuel delivery starvation at WOT. I started troubleshooting this morning from the tank to the carb and noticed dirt in the tank. The fuel pickup screen also seemed...

Holy crap! I am grateful that I started trouble shooting at the fuel tank. I have a load of crap in the tank. The a Blowsion fuel filter/screen at the end of the fuel pickup tube is clogged. I do have another filter inline on the top of the fuel tank as well as the oem fuel filter on the...

I am the least knowledgeable person on the forum, but yesterday, riding for the first time this season (dude I am so sore today), my FX1 would die at full throttle racing my wife. Fx1Dave said it was likely a lack of adequate fuel delivery at full throttle. So, I am now taking the carb out to...

Yes, that is crazy. An unlicensed parent could rent a 70mph sit down jet ski and lend it to his 8 yr. old kid and neither would have been required to have taken and passed the Boater I.D. Card regardless of whether or not they have ever driven any motorized vessel including a jet ski before...

I learned all I know about boating from this man:

It is a $250 fine if you operate an engine driven vessel (e.g., a jet ski) without a California Boater I.D. Card. And I saw two State Parks rangers wearing smokey the bear campaign hats with two beautiful brand new white SUV's with big law enforcement stars on the doors writing a guy a ticket...

^^^ @kevbo Understood. What do you consider "heavier." For instance, I am down from 206 lbs. to 175 lbs. 5' 10.75" (slightly up from my lowest recent weight of 169 lbs.). Trying to start resistance training now to put on more muscle since my muscle has leaned out of excess fat. All due to...

^^^ Just a head's up. Someone once said to me, "Everyone wants one, until they get one." They are an acquired taste. Meaning they demand learning.

Love you BK!

Respectfully. This is NOT politics. Nobody is running for office. The voting is over. This discussion is about ECONOMICS. And how economic policy and its implementation may impact the prices of goods and services in our SPORT. The opinions, speculation and concerns of manufacturers and...

Understood. Then you don't need tariffs on American cars and trucks. FYI, Victor Davis Hanson: https://x.com/i/status/1908281098141892883

Vietnam just offered to reduce their tariffs to zero and requested a meeting with Trump. @waxhead can you move your production from China to Vietnam? Or better yet, can you reach out to OCD and move your production to the U.S.A.?
