SeaDoo Jet Boat Carb Adjustment
 
How do you adjust the carbs (4) on a 1999 Challenger 1800 Jet Boat.
Can it be done out of the water?
Can you adjust the carbs on one engine while the other engine is not
runnung?
Thanks for your help.

Yoiu really need a service manual and probably a set of 4 vacuum guages or a
carb stick. Due to the paranoid it's hard to get carb sticks any more which
is unfortunate because they were way cheaper than 4 vacuum gauges.

Anyone looking probably should snap them up. Because mercury is a toxic
substance it's getting harder to find someone willing to sell these because
of liability. Nothing else will work like mercury cause nothing else is
that heavy when in a liquid state. Most shops have switched over to 4 gauge
setups.
