Question

Hello,

I picked up an Artic Cat Tiger Shark waverunner. It has a Susuki motor and it will not idle. I have not had it in the water to test yet but I am told it will run ok when you give it throttle but it will not stay running at idle. Anyone have any suggestions before I take it to water and test? Thanks

Hello,

 

Does the choke work?

 

and after it warms up at idle does it still have a problem?

 

check and replace the fuel filter and gonna probably need to rebuild/clean the carb.

 

Most times if it runs fine but will not idle on them then cleaning/rebuilding the carb will fix the problem.

 

if you need further assistance just let me know and I will be glad to help you,

 

Thanks,

Joe

Joe,

 

The Choke (Manual) does work. i Have not had it running myself so i dont know if it runs after it warms up. I am getting ready to take it out and see how it goes so i am just looking for some things to try to eliminate what could be many trips to the river. I plan on putting new plugs in as well as a new fuel filter. I have already wondered if I will need to rebuild the carb. I dont know a good place to get a carb kit for a wave runner, do you know of any place on line where I can order one? Thanks
