OK I'm bumfuzzled.

Was given a '96 SeaDooSPX to use for parts. Seems it had run into a pier and had a hole in the hull. I needed the motor out of it to replace one that had thrown a rod. Long story short, the hole in the hull wasn't that bad so I patched it up and she runs great except....

If it's on the trailer, I can do anything to it and it cranks and runs great. But if I fuel it on the water, it will not start again until I clean or replace the plugs. Acts and smells flooded, lots of gas fumes.

The local shop says the carbs need to be rebuilt and they might be right. But it sure does run great (until it needs fuel) for a machine that needs carb work. Anybody got ideas?

Thanks,
<><
