96 seadoo gtx fuel problem

[jlam31]

I recently rebuilt the top end of my seadoo gtx. The motor will start when i pour fuel directly into the carbs, but it stalls out. Seems to be starving for fuel ..Any Ideas? Thanks

it isn't getting fuel,, did you attach the pulse tube to the front carb?? did you rebuild the carbs?

Yes, The fuel line is hooked to the pulse line. No I did not rebuild the carbs. Is that a must for a top end rebuild? Is ther a way to prime the fuel line to the pulse? Thanks.[/I]

the pulse tube goes from the crank case to the fuel pump on the front carb it is not a fuel line, and it is a common thing for people to forget to hook it back up so you better go check it.

Thanks for your help. I figured it out. I had crossed a supply lin with a return line at the fuel tank..DUH!!.

Do you have the grey fuel lines? The old dooes are famous for the fuel lines breking downa nd creating a lean cond.
