I just bought a couple of skis and one of them is giving me trouble. It's a 440/550 hull with a 650 motor. First time I took it out last weekend it didn't want to idle and you had to keep on it or it would die. I turned the idle up a tiny bit and today at first it ran great, but then after about 10 minutes it started to crap out when I'd give it gas and would die if I didn't let off in time. Felt like it was starving for fuel. Thought maybe it was a clogged fuel filter, but after I pulled it out, the flow looked good so I figured maybe the carb needed to be cleaned. When I pulled the carb apart, I noticed the diaphragm with the round metal disk on it was torn. and when I pulled the fuel pump one of the gaskets self destructed.
So first question . . . would a tear in that diaphragm cause the issue I was having?
. . . and where is the best place to get carb parts?
