96 xp revs after carb rebuild

[burellii]

i just got done rebuilding my carbs, replacing the gray fuel lines and putting everything back together. i started the ski and it starts fine but after a sec the rpm's take off. my question is will that go away after i put it in the water. also none of the adjustment screws were touched on the carb

IT SURE WILL, SKI AT FULL THROTTLE, RIGHT TO OTHER SIDE OF LAKE....:rofl:
Recheck the adjustment/tension on throttle cable, or possibly, your pull'n air somewhere...:cheers:

take some carb cleaner and spray at the base on the carbs with engine running, if the engine dies it sucking the cleaner around the base gasket, (vaccum leak) i had that problem with my polaris

The engines revs up due to a lean condition. Check all the intake areas for a leak as David described...It shouldn't runaway in the water due to the extra load on the engine from the water density.
