1998 750 Kawasaki needs priming

[flexon_guy]

I cant get my 98 750 started without pouring a cap of gas in the throats of the carbs. I have adjusted the choke but does not help. Does anyone have any sugestions?<br /><br />Thnaks<br /><br />Mike

Add A primer kit your problem is quite common, One thing you may try is making your return fuel line longer, adding a loop to it and attaching it above the hight of the carbs with a cable tie, this seems to help prevent the fuel being drained from the carbs when the engine is off.I also add a restrictor to the return line, I use a tiny fishing sinker with a small hole in the center inserted in the line, this helps keep fuel preasure on the carbs when it is running .

Jeff<br /><br />Thanks for the info. Where do I get a primer kit? I will make my return fuel line longer as well. Where do you add the restrictor? How do you know the correct size to drill the hole so not to decrease performance?

Most jet ski shops sell primer kits, the egg sinker goes in the return line it only needs the existing hole that comes with it for the fishing line I use a real tiny sinker that fits snugly inside the return line
