650/X-2 87 650sx upgraded carb now issues start help

[gdrum]

Got block off plate

Cleaned bottom of ski and all oil residue out.

Comp tested 140/145 both cylinders....this is okay/strong right?!

Ski ran so much better...def was issue of it being choked out.

Need longer carb bolts because when I got new carb the old bolts are not long enough to go through the adapter too....where can I get them?

This ski is twice as fast when I started...I read 650s are turd skis but sure seems plenty fast to me...just need to do a few more mods now.

I believe the ones I use were carb bolts off an 1100ZXI

140/145 is fine. The SX is not a turd. I enjoyed mine. My stock 701 RN SJ is more powerful and nimble than my SX was but not by massive amounts. My SJ is stock and my SX had some parts on it however. I never had any complaints about the SX when it came to the power or the way it handled. My complaint is that Kawi has a poorly designed product (hood seal as an example) and my SX like most SX are old, worn out and constant maintenance. They are fun to ride.

I just read this forum and everyone almost advises to stay away or not spend a dime. I picked up a steal on an aluminum pole which I am lacking motivation to install..once that is put on then im guessing it might not end up a decent cheap ski.

Put the pole on it and ride, bottom line is you will be the one riding the ski and the keyboard cowboys wearing the Yamaha colored glasses are either too busy working on their ski or typing to ride anyway.

Ignore the people who tell you to buy something else if you don't want something else. I went through that with my X2 and I am glad I did. I like my X2. I bought my SJ instead of fixing my SX because my SJ says Yamaha on the side and my SX says Kawi. Didn't have mych to do with the handling of my SX. Put on the pole and enjoy it until you are done with it.
