I was able to get the ski out to the lake this week for the first water test. No other changes to the ski from last year other than adding 15 pounds of reinforcing fiberglass, switching to a kart tank, and a bump in battery size from a btz9 to btz12. Took it easy and checked over for leaks. Engine felt responsive and acted similar to how it did last year. It ran quite rich but didn't foul plugs after burning a couple gallons. For carbs I'm using silver mikuni sbn44s with drilled returns and running a 70 jet. Last year that got me in the 1.5 psi idle, 6psi wot fuel pressure. I figured that should be rechecked and planned on bumping the jet up a bit due to the stroker crank. Turns out there was some crud in the return jet. I should've checked pressure before cleaning it. I tested on the stand with a 70 and 90. the 90 should work fine, it gets me close to what it was last year. Sounds much more crisp now that it isn't clogged. Also found one of the low speed screws was a half turn different from the other. Will update after more testing is done.
