No, the carbs are all good now. Completely rebuilding carbs is beyond my capability, so that's why I took it into the shop. Like I said, they can get it to consistently run at 3000 rpm and above, but whenever they try to bring it down anywhere near the 1200 rpm that its supposed to idle at, it just dies. Could it be an air leak, or it's just flooding out? And how would you know that it's flooding out? I know that the guy that rebuilt the carbs has worked on hundreds of boats like mine over the years, so I'm confident that he knows what he's doing, but again, here in the Boise area, we are limited to a small group that knows anything about high horsepower jet boats.
If the wrong base gaskets were used, could that affect it? Or does it sound like a metering problem?
