gae me a great deal on a sweet carb. would def do business again.

it looks like it might be either my pulser coil or my exciter coil. I just ordered both from dennis kirk so we will see. I talked to a guy who had my exact same problem, so i am going to put in some new coils. what is pissing me off is I could have bought a pretty sweet ski for the amount i...

im in the proxess of checking my timing right now, but i dont know what to do. can anyone point me in the right direction? its a 91 and i am pretty sure its a reed motor.

thanks for the heads up chad, ill try that tomorrow night. I cut .5 inch off the ends of the plug wires and put the boots back on a few minutes ago, but its still about the same. What exactly does the waterbox do? Thanks again

also, compression is at about 145 in each cyl.

I have done a search of all the threads and am coming up empty handed....My 91 550sx seems to not get enough spark when i rev it up, it just bogs and backfires a bit. It idles great and starts easily, it just wont run much higher than idle. I first thought carburation, but now I am pretty...

I am putting a mikuni 44 sbn on my 91 550 sx. The mods to my ski are minimal, basically just a factory pipe and skat trak impeller. Does anyone have a good guess to what my jetting should be? Thanks a lot.

I am going to put a better carb on my 91 550 sx, or rebuild the one I have. I would rather just buy a new better one. it has a keihin 38 now, I am thinking about a super bn. Will the super bn bolt right on? Or would it be better to just rebuild the stocker? Thanks again for all your help...

i'm always playing with it.

The pisser on my 550 sx has little more than a dribble coming out of it, is this normal?

ski looks sweet man, what engine are you putting in it?

Well, after about 10 beers and a pissed off wife(aftermarket pipes really resonate inside a garage), i got it running strong again at about 1am. It seemed to run great and I ran it for a while to make sure it was all good and get all the water out. I then started it back up this morning and it...

i have been dumping a ton of premix in it (down the carb and in the plug hole). i will keep turning it over with the plugs out and blasting out all the gas, it just seems like there is still a ton of water in it. I guess i will just keep trying. thanks.

sorry if i misunderstood, but do i need to drain out all the gas in the tank?

do i need to drain the gas?

well, I sunk my 550sx yesterday and completely flooded the engine compartment. the ski was not running when it sunk and i didnt try to turn it over until i took the plugs out. I got the engine compartment all vacuumed and dried out, but now I want to get it running again. What should I do...

I think it is a mikuni 44, how do I tell for sure? I am going to rebuild it and want to be sure to order the right kit. Thanks

would it be wise to rebuild the carb, or just a good cleaning?

Hey guys, I just bought a couple of kawi 550s. One is a beast that has a 750 engine in it and it ran awesome today (first time out). The problem child is a 91 550sx. It starts up and idles easily, but at first didnt even have enough power to get on plane. it just ran rough at WOT. It then...
