Hello the 787 in my challenger is awfully hard to start if left overnight or even for like 5 - 6 hours. I have to prime the engine by putting gas directly into the cylinders via sparkplug holes. One little shot and away she goes, will start easily all day as long as you start it ever hour or so. The fuel system has a priming ball which seems to deliver fuel into the bottom of the carbs (totally different llne then the fuel supply). Ive pumped this till my hand cramps up and it still wont start unless i put fuel right into the cylinders... wtf? Im wondering if maybe a guy moved the priming ball on the fuel primary delivery lines? Also, ive read that it should prime by pushing the throttle ahead a couple times... this doesnt seem to do anything on min, cant hear fuel being sprayed or pumped.

Another question, has anyone ever put a wake surfing gate on their ol sea doo jet boat? I dont see why it wouldnt work.. something like this: http://www.themalibucrew.com/index.php?/forums/topic/44826-manual-home-made-surf-gate-teak-gate/

thanks for reading :D

edit: ah shit i posted this in the wrong forum, sorry
