GTi with no oomph!

Hi all

I have had my ski for some time now and have spent more time fixing than playing unfortunately.....The main problem appears to be around the carburretor, I have had two rebuilds in as many years. The first time in really made a difference until I fixed the leaky exhaust and then after the welding the carb played up again........back to the garage where they adjusted thepop off pressure springs, this time it cured the poor running however the accelaration was a little erractic. Last weekend it was performing okay on the saturday in calmish waters but after a refuel at different garage and a force five sea condition the ski refused to accelerate however the tickover speed remained ok.

so is it likely to be poor petrol, waterlogged engine bay or the rediculous carb!!
Any ideas welcomed

Id drain the gas tank and put in new gas, hopefully its as simple as that

I may well try that.....just tried it again today and had a similar experience.
So i took off the fuel filter and bowl to find a green looking paste and bits of debris.

I wonder whether anyone else has had similar residue....could it be the grey pipes to the filters and carb are breaking down

If you have the Grey fuel lines still, swap them out with new black standard fuel hose. you will also have to strip the carb and clean the internal fillters as the green gunk gets past the first filter, also clean the selector switch while you at it, it will pay off:hat:.

I did this and it runs 100%, the grey fuel lines are bad.

Let uz know how you get on

Cheers Steve

seasalter is £60 joining fee (one off) and then I think £110 family membership up to the age of 16........nice showers clubhouse and ramp.

Downside.....shorter tides than at hernebay because it's a little bit further up the estruary.
