As far as starting right up, it fixed it. I haven't had it on the water yet because I've got a vibration going on. Either my engine alignment is a little off or I have a pump issue now. I haven't had time to get back to that ski yet.
Mine having same hard start issue after parked it for a couple daya. i have to put fuel into the cylinders for it to start up. But after that its ilde good, and crank right back up anytime after that.
I’ve got the same ski and it was seized so I rebuilt it this year and I replaced the fuel selector and filter. I also replaced all fuel lines and rebuilt the carb with mikuni parts but it still won’t run. It’ll start with the choke on for about 15 seconds and then kill and that’s all it’ll get. It will do that over and over and get warm but still won’t start without the carb. I may have done the check valves wrong but I’m not sure. I’ve never pop off tested the carb so I’ll do that but what else could it be?
It is frustrating, isn't it? My ski still does not do well with a cold start. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to burn the starter up before it finally starts up and runs. So, I'm wondering if maybe I have, or still have, an air leak. I swapped everything out except the fuel selector so maybe the plastic is cracked around the fuel line connections. I need to either build or buy a fuel pressure tester and see if that might be an issue. I'm sure it is a typo, but what do you mean by "won't start without the carb"? Are you saying it will not start without putting some fuel down the carb?
@@papadonjetski9535 Mine could have an air leak too then. I ordered a pop off tester that could work for a pressure tester so I might need to try that out too.
Any update on this? I have a 717 gti that had same issue. The check valve change fixed it...

Yep. Same with this ski.

@@papadonjetski9535 sorry I meant it won’t start without the choke.

I still have not had any luck of getting it to start without pouring fuel straight in.
