I've heard people say they are epa carbs and such, I have no idea where they are getting that idea.

I've ridden multiple skis with those carbs that run great, including my own.

Just don't see what's wrong with them.

I guess I should be happy if other people don't want them then the price will go down for me.

In the entire time you've been trying to tune this thing have you ever had it lean enough to hesitate?

Have you made any attempt to tune pump?

Not at all on the pump, frankly I haven't even looked what's in there, could be something super aggressive frankly.

Yeah id love for them to work out 38/40 whatever you wanna call them seems like a good match for the output.

Have you had any chance to play with this more?

I have not unfortunately. I got it all ready to go just haven't had a good day to bring it out. I also have like 4 skis that needs shaking down

Took it out. Ran worse than ever, made an adjustment went to retest..... And. Thinking that's it for me and this ski.

Gonna get it back to my known best setting, fix this travesty and move on. We're at the too many demerits to ever be enjoyable part unfortunately.

Okay Got the sxr intake manifold... turns out the gaskets and stuffers mate up perfectly. oddly the pins on the manifold to align the carbs are way too long... maybe the sxr carbs are chewed out a bit deeper in the carb body... guess ill just cut them down.
Carbs are also HIDEOUS inside, one jet was NOT fun. oh well.. would love to find a stock airbox but probably a tall order.

If you haven't given up yet, I have a stock 800 airbox that should be 100% complete. I took it off in 2004 and never looked at it again, but I know right where it is.
