Not worth fixing unless there is some significant emotional attachment. Those hulls can be found for almost nothing.

Superglue held yesterday for a few hour ride. Fingers crossed it is good to go. Thanks again.

That isn't correct. You have to be 16 to operate a PWC or boat over 15HP. You have to be at least 12 and accompanied by someone over 18 on the vessel with you. Yes, it is ridiculous you don't need the license if you are renting but the age limits still apply. My 15 yo son and I got ours for...

Ok, update on this. Installed new 1.5 Mikuni needles and seats, new 115 gram springs, 75 pilots, diaphragms and fuel pump parts. All the old stuff looked perfect but why not... Ski runs normal now. It isn't as snappy as my sons stock 61X/61X in his square nose but that has a Group K milled...

Thanks. Waiting on new needles and seats to arrive. Going through carbs again. I’ll report back after water testing.

Do you sell the gasket between the carbs and adapters on the stock dual 38's? Yamaha doesn't show it and one of your carb pictures show green ones. I assume these get old and should be replaced at some point?

Thanks JC, I will look into that too.

Diaphragms looked nice and soft, held pressure when on so not holding the lever arms down either. Fuel lines were Jet Maniac premium with the stainless locking Thomas & Betts ties and no air leaks. I will double check again though.

Fuel system holds pressure, tank check valve is new and functioning. I am not skilled enough to hang on, steer, feather the throttle and pump a primer, LOL. Need a 3rd hand.

No offense at all Wax. Just saying that I think I have checked most things.

Already done with brake cleaner and compressed air. Been rebuilding these carbs for 30 years. Never ran into one running like this.

Understood but mine doesn’t really go at all unless you can work past the problem. Hit the start button and it fires up and idles, get to 1/8-1/4 throttle and it dies, give it more throttle and it dies. Now if you can hold it at 1/8 throttle and work the rpm’s up slowly eventually it will take...

Thanks everyone. Pulled them apart and nothing obviously wrong. Fuel pump held pressure and not leaking. MAG and PTO both held pressure so no leaking diaphragms and both were soft and still look new. The 2 little and one big LS transition holes all flow brake cleaner nice and strong through...

Are they really that lean stock?

Thanks JM.

I installed new bearings and seals a few years ago but low hours when we swapped his 650 for a 701. Never been regreased. Alignment look to be good. Maybe I will try and clean it and pop it back in. What do you suggest for "glue"?

Thanks WFO, I will be pulling them apart tonight. I also have new Mikuni kits in the parts bin. Double check everything.

Thanks I will give that a try. Do you have any good base screw settings that have been close? All I have is the old superjet manual. I already pulled the carbs yesterday and will give them the once over first just because they have been sitting for years now.

Anybody ever see the engine side seal pop out? My son's SN that has been great for years came out yesterday. His is an older one without the grease fitting so the only grease it has has is Maxima Waterproof when I rebuilt it.

Stock airbox and screens. Stock jetting and screw settings.
