After all the cold starting problems I've had with my 95XP, even after the carburetor rebuild, I'm wondering if it's not worthwhile to just get another carburetor from Ebay, rebuild, and drop it in. Is there ever any reason to 'replace' a carburetor? This is a freshwater only craft that I've owned since 96. Fuel lines replaced, fuel selector cleaned.
Problems really didn't start until after I removed the carburetor and had it rebuilt last spring. I didn't rebuild it myself, but I'm wondering if something didn't get screwed up during the rebuild. I had a bolt seized that had to be ground out, so one of the carburetors took some pretty heavy physical 'abuse', heat and impact, to get the bolt removed.
Buy another rebuild kit and put it in these carbs, or buy a pair from ebay, a kit, and try a second carburetor? What's the likelyhood of a carburetor being 'damaged' past the point of a full rebuild resolving?
