Slow Acceleration on SLH 700

[avsmann33]

Took out the jet ski's today and noticed that my Polaris SLH700 was accelerating very slowly, and would often sputter quite a bit when I gave it throttle from a stop. After a few seconds it would get over this and I would have no issues while riding. I was also having quite a bit of trouble getting it to turn on. I found that if I killed the engine right away when stopping rather than letting it idle for a minute or 2 it would typically fire right up the next time I started it. My thinking is that it must be running rich. Any thoughts?

sounds like the metering arms on the needles aren't set right
