Slight bogging/hesitation

[White99z]

Hey guys. Just got my ski back up and running yesterday. I had to get a new start switch and then replaced the plugs. What should I have gapped the plugs at? I read a lot of different things and then decided to go to .28 (or is it .028?) either way... I cant remember right now (its 3am haha). When I first start the ski up after falling and hit the throttle she bogs down for a short while. Then it hits and takes off and does not do it until I fall and get back on. Is my carb getting to rich of a mixture or too much gas and flooding it out or something. Is it my spark plugs? I havent yet checked to see if the plugs are dirty from my hour ride. I want to get out to the lake for an early AM ride to start my day tomorrow and am hoping to fix this when I get up. Any tips?

I think the proper gap is 0.022.

Sounds like you may be rich.

Any other input on the gapping? Also, how can I tell if I am running rich and how can I fix it?

Anybody??? Should I start at regapping my plugs, tuning my carbs, or what? I havent made it back out to the water yet. I am hoping to make it out early tomorrow and try and get this fixed and then im off to get my new truck and then off for vacation :woot:

Oh I got another question. When my ski was down because of the start switch I put the stock F/A back on it (had K&N). Could this have affected it in anyway? Probably not but just figured I would ask.
