I rebuilt my crossflow 150 carbs cause lower one had a bad needle and seat. Just wanted to say factory kits have no equal they are the best! <br /><br />So I get all done and fire it up idles great on the muffs. Take her out and Idles great on the water. Get out of no wake zone and throttle up misses at part throttle. Then misses at full throttle even worse. I check for miss and at part throttle it misses on 2 and at full throttle it misses on 5 does not miss at idle still. <br /><br />I am stumped :confused: . So anchor up outside channel. Take silencer off get it to miss spray premix in no change. I then take off middle carb on water cause float must be to high. Nope its fine. I look at the bowl and see something funny A high speed jet that looks like it came loose. Nope I CHECK IT AND FIND OUT I PUT BOTH HIGH SPEED JETS IN ONE SIDE AND NONE IN THE OTHER :eek: I geuss I should have turned the phone off when I had the carbs apart. :D <br /><br />Fixed it and runs better than ever. <br /><br />I have rebuilt many carbs in my life and none easier than a crossflow. Everyone makes mistakes and this goes to only doing one thing at a time Just thought I would share my misfortune so someone else could avoid my mistake ;)
