Keihin CDK2 Carb Overview & Intro to setting Pop-Off pressure - Kawasaki STX 1100 Jet Ski

#jdswaterworld #jetski
In this video I go over some carburetor basics on the 1997-1999 Kawasaki STX1100 Jet Ski with CDK2 carbs.
This is not an in-depth tutorial but rather just a quick look at some of the steps I took to get my carbs in working order.

Hey great video! I’m having an issue with my ‘97 STX 1100 where it starts and dies immediately. I can’t figure it out because I already rebuilt the carbs and it has good spark

So if it’s 97 it should have the CDK2. Did you check the pop off pressure? Did you confirm fuel pressure? Did you check the fuel tank vent line and ensure no blockages in any of the feed or return lines? Did you verify reed valves are not damaged? Check the carb base gasket and the crossover tube? If you fill a spray bottle with 2-stroke oil mixed with gasoline and squirt it into the carbs does the ski stay running?

On the arm does that affect the pop off and that thin long gasket in the middle of the carb that’s under the top assembly do I have to install that gasket in there ?

Here is a schematic of the carb. Make sure every single gasket, seal, check valve, and o ring is in place or it won’t work correctly:

Hey jd so the 98 it’s going good it runs I put new spark plugs and took down the carburetor and clean it but for some reason it like stops giving gas and tries to shoot off

[@JDsWaterWorld]

I need a lot more details to be able
To help you…

[@johniglesias1891]

It goes until like 20 miles per hour and than it stops giving power I don’t know what could it be

[@JDsWaterWorld]

It could be any one or a combination of 50 different things

funny how everyone want a free diagnosis on how-to vids like this but will never cough up the dough for a mechanic or spend the time required to learn how to fix it themselves

[@JDsWaterWorld]

Lol
