Couple of questions for you.

I did all you told me to do with my 98 GTXL. It is running weird now. I got the jets and springs in. Cleaned the carbs top to bottom. Replaced everything that needed to be. Compression seems good to me. I think it was around 120 or 125. It is real hard to start. I have to squeeze the throttle a couple of times now. It still seems to hesitate when it warms up and gets going. If I'm cruising along, it will pause every once in awhile. LIke --------------- -----------------. It is noticeable. I tuned it in the water on the trailer. I went w/ the settings I was givin on here. 1 1/4 on lows and 0 on MAG and 1/4 on PTO for highs. I went down on the lows to just 1 turn and it didn't help. So I put them back to 1 1/4. Then I went to 1 1/2 and it got a little better. Seems to use less fuel but still more than other ski's out there. When I let go of the throttle, it will be at a higher RPM than what I have it set at. I have to blip the throttle to get it to come down. Any suggestions for me? One last thing. I noticed that the RPM's don't hold at 1400. They go up and down some. Thanks for you time. Sorry to bother you again.

Did you sync the throttle plates in the carbs ? Good slack in throttle cable ?

I don't recall doing that. How would I go about doing that? Is it hard? There is about a 1/4 inch of slack in the throttle cable. Maybe I missed that syncing the throttle plates. Is that the round things the cables go into?
