    Okay so I have a 2002 yamaha xl700 2 stroke waverunner. New spark plugs. Replaced carbs. Batterys good. Full tank of gas and oil. Today I sprayed carb cleaner into the carbs and cranked it. It starts for a second or two then cuts off. Could this be a bad fuel line or filter? Any input is great.

    Carb may need some adjustment.

    Replacing the fuel filter is a cheap easy solution. No harm in doing that.

    Also may be a bad fuel pump.

    I'm glad I got rid of my PWC (Sea-Doo) that thing was such a pain the asss.

    How long was it sitting? Could definitely be bad fuel or a plugged filter. Always a good idea to replace everything since it's usually pretty cheaper and a hell of a lot easier than rebuilding a carburetor.

    Bad gas has a stale smell to it. Smell it once and you'll never forget it.

    I'm assuming the fuel pump has checked out as good?

    Good luck on the resurrection!
