Ok so I bought a 97 spx!! Took it out first day was hard to start and wouldn’t idle but ran great otherwise. I was going wot and accidentally pulled the key off. It started back up and ran good for about one minute then started surging and wanted to die. I took back to shore and that was it. A week later after pulling my hair out I got it started on the lake but it would surge and bog at all throttle positions. So I replaced all original fuel lines with black automotive lines. I decided to check my rave valves and one had a rip in it so I replaced them both and put new gaskets. I pulled the carbs to clean them an noticed one gasket was folded over so I replaced them both. However the carbs were very clean. I forgot to mention that the motor and carbs were rebuilt with receipts from local shop. Ski has about 15 hours on rebuild. Any how I put her all back together and tried to fire. She almost started in the first 2 seconds but then would only turn over but not fire. I installed a clear fuel filter and watched it fill right up while cranking with a small air pocket left in the upper side. I can smell fuel but it won’t fire up. However I do not see fuel in the 2 clear lines on the back side of the carbs. It has a new battery that is charged and I’m getting spark. I am at a loss any ideas out there would be appreciated.
