i have a 96 SeaDoo GTI that is hesitating at times when I give it more throttle kinda like it's starved for gas. I took it to the local shop and they quoted me a price of $500 to rebuild the twin carbs. That seemed quite high to me, so I passed.
I've been working on cars for 40 years and I've rebuilt several carbs. Jetski's are another story though.
My questions, if anyone can chime in, are:
Is this price reasonable?
How hard is a rebuild compared to a rebuild on an automotive carb?
What is a good source for a rebuild kit?
Is a product like Gumout sprayed into the throat of the carb a good first attempt at a fix?
Thanks,
