I finaly got my 57 apache out on the water for the first time this year. I met a guy at a cove with a small electric shockwave and decided to go home and get mine. she ran great on the stand in the water but as soon as I took it past half throttle the engine would cut out. lucky me the waters only 2' deep and sandy bottom. best swimming party cove on the lake. anyway back to the motor. shes a stock 260 zen w/clutch
and i thought i would ask here before i go tinker with it and make it worse. sorry no running pics. I'll try to have a camera man onboard next time for pics and vids.

Check you needles setting, and start with 2 on the L and 1 on the H.

stoddy

those settings are ok for the 257 carb
looking at the pics he as a 644
1 1/2 turns on low and high is a good starting point for that carb.

I would get a tuned pipe on it also

Thanks, I have already been down the tuned pipe road. I talked to wwh who i beleive makes that quad setup and was told a tuned pipe would not work well with the splitter. I have since forgoten exactly why though.
