First I need to say carbs have been completely disassembled and cleaned four times. Last two times reassembled with back to OEM kits. All that was due to a new OEM fuel selector being defective. Pop off was in spec but near the higher side and stock sitting.
Starts and idles fine but sometimes having to pump gas to "clear it out". With that it's bogging and cutting off. Not always. I have a long ride out of the no wake zone and it seems to be very minimal coming out. Once it's going it's good.
Getting about 6700 top rpms, 132 compression and I've never gone through the pump yet only changed oil. Probably needs a wear ring. Figured that might be where I was losing a couple hundred rpm IDK.
Was consider pulling the engine out of the ski and putting it in the Challenger. I know that compression is getting weak. Have a set of carbs laying around and another new back to OEM kit.
Could I be overlooking something else? The compression numbers, crank seals? I know that points to carb issues but with what I've done I couldn't imagine. Any insight will greatly be appreciated.
