i tend to stay away from gumout products....seafoam is much better product IMO, does a better job with varnish & carbon. doesn't seem to make old rubber stuff more brittle like the gumout stuff

If you think you have a carb/fuel delivery problem, just rebuild your carbs. You are wasting your time with this stuff.

ya, anything that's not varnish no chemical is going to help with, good old fashioned manual cleaning is bout all you can do

Be careful if you use that kind of stuff bc you will end up rebuilding carbs all cleaned stuff will go to the carbs and clog them. Do it the manual way save your self problems

doing it the manual way i know the diaphrams are ok. what about the jets.. how to get to those and clean them. i still think its my pipe loading up with water but maybe its this? gahh

We used some foaming carb cleaner in my couch that my friend was preaching to be the god of carb cleaners. It worked by having the ski at an idle and spraying the stuff into the carb. It blew a bunch off stuff out of something. Everything that came out while the foam was going in was black. The ski still ran like ********. Now I'm out $6 on the BS he had me buy, and I still need a rebuild kit.

Just do it the right way. Rebuild it. If the jets are clogged, you can pull them out and blast them with the air hose.

You can clean the jets the same way you change them.

pop them out, carb cleaner and an air hose (or just blow in them) and put them back. If I bought a rebuild kit everytime a jet started to get clogged, I'd be piss poor. We've had carbs apart 50+ times and rebuilt them in the single digits. If you can inspect the parts and there's no wear, they don't need to be replaced. Just make sure you don't get aggressive with an air hose and destroy a diaphram.

SeaFoam is awesome... I haven't used it through the intake of the skis only in the fuel.

I use it in my cars, trucks, quad and off-road buggy, it work awesome!

It's fixed rough idles a # of times for me.
