I have a 94 FX1 that is mostly stock with the exception of a few things, SS prop(Solas I think)
r@d intake grater@d, extended ride plate ,A/C aluminum/shortened pole, Milled head,stock exhaust,flame arrestor.
Yesterday, I taped up a couple of the hood vents before i went to the lake to try to keep out water and everything was going fine then a half a tank later it just died on me and wouldnt start back up. It fired up a couple hours later at home after choking off the carb and it blew a ton of smoke. I figured it was loaded up & running rich cuz it could not get any air so I pulled the tape off my breather holes and went out today. Same thing, I burnt about half a tank and it started to bog down and die again. I subbed the ski a ton both days but never took in that much water. I checked the air filter both days and it did have some water on it but just like before wants I choked off the carb it fired up and blew out smoke and ran fine.
I dont know if its a jetting issue or a h20 issue. Also when I head full throttle down a glassy lake with no cavitation happening it will bog down after a couple seconds and basically want to throw me over the bars. One other thing that is driving me absolutely crazy is when ever I sub my ski and pop out of the water and get on the throttle to stay up and ride it out the ski will basically bog down and die and I will have to feather the throttle to fire it back up again.
Any help is highly appreciated!
