951 gtx raves

[Scoochy]

So I’ve been having some idle and low rpm issues
i have cleaned/rebuilt carbs spent hours messing with the low speed jets all that good stuff. Yesterday I was thinking what else could the problem be
ive only had this machine for a month or so and apparently it has always ran brp synthetic oil so the raves can’t be that bad
I decide I’m going to take them apart anyway and I find this in the pro cylinder. I’m assuming it will have an impact on how this machine runs
the carbon was really thick and baked on. Is this why I’ve had some issues?

I doubt you’ll see any change in performance from just cleaning them. That looks normal.

Did you rebuild the carbs with new kits? Changed fuel pump check valves? Accelerator pump works ok? Does it bogg and die, bogg and accelerate slow, or does it sputter and spit?

[Scoochy]

I have checked pop off and new oem carb kits
just a weird hesitation if running around 2500tpm and try to accelerate to 3or 4000
we have a no wake zone to get to the lake and notice it will accelerate briefly on its own occasionally. Almost as if you tap the throttle
when it does do that it seems to run really smooth for that second or two

[Pacer]

Good compression? Have you pulled the head? Checked the reeds? Stock 951 reeds don’t normally give problems.

Good fuel lines? Have you cleaned the fuel selector valve?

[Scoochy]

Haven’t checked the reeds or fuel selector yet but compression is 135ish and fuel lines are nee

I agree, those raves look pretty normal from what I've seen on my 951's

What brand carb kits did you use ??

[Seadoo timebomb]

He said they were oem kits.

Does ski still have stock airbox or rejetted carbs with open F/A's? Did you change out needle/seat when carbs were gone thru? Any chance of a carb gasket not lining up when carbs were installed?
