jet ski motor question

[Jimmy B]

anyone work on em?

my brother just got a 93 yamaha 700 VXR pro. its starting but will not stay started and chokes itself out...

anyone know someone that works on them and can hook us up?

well i got two and i sometimes have the same problem. The way i work with it is i start it and then blip the throttle and just feel it out working the gas a little more and more and if it starts to sound like its gonna choke out i let out the gas and start again.

it may need to get the carb rebuilt if it has sat for a long time.
