Ever give up and just have to bite the bullet?

I've been chasing a fuel delivery issue on an FX1 I picked up for weeks. I've had the carb apart half a dozen times to clean, rebuild, rejet, re-clean, rebuild etc etc etc. tried a million other things from fuel lines to selector switch to emptying the tank, you friggin name it. Finally I said "F" it and just bought a new carb off of Amazon. Threw that thing on and the ski runs like brand new. Am I the only one? Did I take the lazy way out?

I’m not a carb guy so I don’t even attempt rebuilding them. That’s why I always send mine off to jss or have a local shop rebuild them for me.

JSS does carb work? I've only used them for electrical stuff.

I take the easy way out on new skis and drop them off at bad boys. Its more enjoyable to have harry check everything and just enjoy the first few rides.

Sounds like one of the small circuits was clogged. No amount of ckeaning will get this. Where gas dried up and turned to shellack.

Unltra sonic cleaning machines work wonders on internal carb passages and frozen carb slides on atv's

I've had great success with Chem-Dip on various projects. I've stopped trying to clean small parts. Soak them and spray them off. A carb will fit in the bucket.

Had the same issue and ruined a season trying tune them. 60 minutes in chem dip followed by compressed air blowing out passages and are perfect now.

I finally had to on the wife's Seadoo. Been rebuilding carbs on these for 25 years and that one finally got the better of me. One new out of the box carb and it has never run so good.

He does excellent work on carbs as well as electrical.

So does humility.
