New to here, so Hello to all.
I'm the original owner of a 1998 GTX Limited Dual Carb. I am having an issue that is rather odd to me as I'm rather well versed in mechanics. Just not 2-stroke and skis in general. I have changed the gray fuel lines and the internal carb filters and cleaned the fuel valve long ago and it ran perfect after doing that. Now all of a sudden, this ski started to, what seems to be, drop a cylinder at the mid rpm range. It idles fine but if you give it throttle it seems to be running on one cylinder. The it takes off and anything above 3/4 throttle it runs fine and fast. Drop it down below about 4500 and it seems to surge not holding steady RPM. New plugs had no effect. I would not think it is a fuel starvation issue as it runs fine, and as long as you like, over 5K to WOT. If you quickly squeeze the throttle from idle it will be on one cylinder, but then take off on two after a moment and is fine. The compression is even on both cylinders. Not sure if this could be spark or electrical issue or if there is another part that could cause this at low/mid throttle? Any help how to diagnose the issue would be very appreciated.
