Hey everyone, new member here! Hope I’m posting in the correct place, having a few issues out of my ski. Here’s the run down
Bought a 95 gtx 657 about a month ago, is in immaculate condition, previous owner took very good care for it, hasn’t been rode since last summer, I replaced the tempo fuel lines, rebuild the carbs, fuel selector, spark plugs, and replaced fuel water separator, but had trouble with an air leak even with new oring, so I bypassed it with an in-line filter, also added a bildge pump.. was running spectacular after what I done to it, took to the lake today, once again was running great, after riding for about an hour, it began to become a real pain to get restarted after shutting it off for 5 minutes or so, once started it would bog terribly but clear out after a minute or so, no noticeable large amounts of smoke after it cleared out it ran fine, it progressively got worse to the point once it took me around 10 minutes to get restarted, once started I noticed a small power loss and lack of top speed, was on a long run and all of a sudden it died and would not restart, towed back to the ramp, still won’t start, it will hit very slightly like it’s trying to start but won’t. has fuel, no air leaks, noticed fuel was alittle hard to suck from the line but not terrible like it’s clogged somewhere, has spark, also pulled the plugs several times after cranking for alittle, plugs was never wet, (nor blew fuel out of the spark plug holes)?? Maybe fuel issues??? I havnt tested compression since I bought it a month ago, if I remember correctly it was around 140 on each cylinder. Plans for tomorrow, make sure I’m getting fuel, pour alittle down the intake see if it fires, compression test, and a good look over, any information on what else to check would be very much appreciated!!! Thanks!
