I have this same boat. My son wants to use it, but it's been stored a long time. I want to work with him on it. I had fogged the engine & placed in storage five years ago. Since then I cleaned the carbs & replaced the lower carb, that was having issues, with a middle carb and swapped out the jetting with the original. Since then I've not touched it and the carbs remain clear of any fuel. I would really appreciate a phone call or email to get some pointers. I really love the looks of this old jet boat. The biggest issue that made me stop using it was that it porpoises like crazy & I want it to trim the nose down. Could really use some help to make a memory for my boy & me.
Thanks,
