looking for some help. Rebuilt carb with all new mikuni parts including needle and seat. the venturi for the main jet on the carb starter/front side of ski will drip at idle. I tried raising pop off pressure and different springs and nothing changes. Anyone know how to correct this. Only thing i read was to add a second layer to the check valve on the kindney.

Is it causing any running issues?

Don't mess with pop-off if it is within spec and using the correct spring and seat.

Yes i can’t set the idle correct. Way to much fuel it will bog when i hit the throttle only runs well at wide open throttle. I think i was able to add a video to the original post

That’s strange. Should not be dribbling with stock settings and parts.

Is the engine vibrating really bad?
