785xp	posted: 7/26/2010 3:46:06 PM Hey Johnny, why don't you come up here and help fix this ski. I will buy the beer as long as you pick it up at the duty free on your way over!
Johnny K	posted: 7/26/2010 3:44:53 PM Low Speed Screw out 1 1/4 turns +/- 1/4 Turn High Speed all the way in. Found that in the "tech specs" link on the left.. Great work PPG! 785XP has a great suggestion as well. JK
785xp	posted: 7/26/2010 1:45:57 PM Have you trimmed back your spark plug wires at both ends? They tend to get corroded over time and it becomes noticeable when under load. Just pull off the spark plug boot and trim back about 1/4 inch of wire and then twist back on. On the ignition side at the coil, if yours is the same as mine, there is a little plastic clamp that tends to break when you remove it. Andrews usually has them in stock. Pull the wires out of the coil and again trim them back 1/4 inch.

marvinmartian	posted: 7/26/2010 12:04:45 PM I have finally figured out my fuel issue - now I have a loss of power - I had to replace all my fuel lines - rebuilt the carb and new Shutoff valve - now it idles fine - put when you put in the water and put a load on it - it is like it is running on one cylinder - have put new plugs in it - same result - have taken them off one at a time and ran it - both cylinders are firing - any suggestions???
