    1994 GTX - Help - Ski runs great on trailer but bogs down on lake

    Mine didn't have anything on the grey fuel line between carbs. I was planning to test the fuel system for leaks next. I found the section in my shop manual, but I don't have hose clamps or a tester gauge. Gonna order those of Amazon soon.

    Also, I had to re-time the engine since the plate came off the rotary valve when I took the carbs off. I snapped a quick pic of the plate and figured I'd see if it may be causing any of the problems.

    Any idea where I could get just that film? I didn't see it in the kit I bought.

    1994 GTX - Help - Ski runs great on trailer but bogs down on lake

    UPDATE: I was able to replace the needle and seat in both carbs, replaced the fuel filter and I ring, and by passed the fuel selector switch. I couldn't replace the small plastic price under the aluminum block cuz I didn't get a one with my kit and I can't fine just that piece anywhere. Took...

    Are you just talking about this filter? If so, did you replace just the filter or the whole assembly? I was thinking about getting a new filter and o-rings, but after the comment on the fuel selector, i'm wondering if I need to replace the whole thing?

    I'll have to try bypassing the selector. What fuel strainer are you using?

    I didn't read the carb page here. I followed a YouTube video that seemed pretty comprehensive https://youtu.be/Xpjqzf9CFYk I'm pretty sure I cleaned everything out pretty well. I used carb cleaner and air to blow everything out. I made sure I could see through the jets and that carb cleaner...

    1994 GTX - Help - Ski runs great on trailer but bogs down on lake

    Thanks for all the input from everyone. Update: I pulled the Carbs out again today and did a pop off test on both carbs. Both of them popped somewhere between 27-30 PSI, which is correct according to the reference here. One of them kinda leaked if I tried to get it to hold pressure over ~20...

    I didn't check the pop off because I didn't have the tool to do so. I'll look into getting one though. I doubt I have leaks since I've heard the "hiss" in the past and I just replaced the fuel lines with better lines and clamps. I'll have to look through my repair manual for the processes to...

    1994 GTX - Help - Ski runs great on trailer but bogs down on lake

    Thanks for the reply! I'll get those items ordered and put them in when I feel like busting my knuckles getting those carbs out again. Any recommendations on where to get a needle, seat, and spring? (Carb parts a la cart style)

    Hey Everyone, I've got a 1994 GTX ski that's giving me some trouble. First, let me say I'm not a mechanic, but I'm not afraid of ripping things apart and putting them back together. With that said here is the problem and what I've done to try and fix it: Problem: Ski starts and runs perfect on...
