Hi I has a similar post in the freeride/surf section but thought I would see if I got more response here.
I am having a problem with getting my 02 SJ to start after stalling or falling off. If I prime it 3 times after it stalls it will start 70% of the time right away, but I dont think I should have to do that. But the other 30% of the time it takes more more priming and a lot more tires before it will fire. This is becoming a problem because Im not real confident that if a crash trying a re entry or a barrel roll that the thing will start again before the next wave comes by. It seems to run pretty good which is why its hard to figure out what is going on. The only thing is if you hold it steady for awhile at about 1/8th throttle it seems to run just a little rough, but as long as your on and off the throttle you would never notice that.
It has about 165psi in each cyliner with a stock head, it has carbon tech reeds and a b pipe all else is stock. Ski has had this problem since I started riding it in the surf even when the pipe, reeds, and jetting were all stock.
Jets are 142 main, 72 pilot, 95g pop off, all else stock. screws are high 2 3/4 front and 2 1/4 rear Lows 2 both front and rear. the rear does run a little richer then the front, I figured because with the stock head it is prolly running a little hotter?
I have not heard of people really needing to run a 142 main but its not running to rich with it.... which could maybe help someone determine what is wrong with it since it is needing a rather large jet?
I dont think its sucking up water because even if it flips over and I hit the bilge after very little water comes out, and its not like I have to "blow" the motor out after this happens, it will run just fine once it fires.
Does not seem to have electrical problems but its hard to say. I just put new plug boots on and that didnt help. Also the gas tank is holding pressure.
Im really out of ideas here.. if anyone has any ideas I would appreaciate the input.
Thanks
