Learnt something about my jet ski. The last two times out has been cold water (mid 40s and air in the mid 60s). I developed a real bad hesitation when letting off and reapplying throttle. I thought I might have to rebuild carbs and fuel pump. I richened up high and low speed screws 1/8 of a...

My fuel Petcock has become very hard to turn. Probably ethanol fuel has swelled o-rings. Rather than buy a new one and have it happen again, I made a plastic tool that is always on the jet ski to make turning the valve easier. Not elegant but functional. Valve funtions fine.
