I wasn`t looking forward to the task of cleaning the fuel select valve located below controls[driver side].I`ve read enough on the subject to understand it needed to be done.The valve came out easily[wasn`t tough at all,had to raise controls]pulled it back to engine compartment.The fuel lines are original[for boats not grey like pwc`s],but were still flexable and showing no signs of decay[replace this winter]. Blowing through with carb cleaner,I thought I had it clean.There is a small screw on side of valve that I was eyeing,not being one to take apart what doesn`t need to,I got the courage up to pull valve apart. Glad I did,came apart easy and was full of 13 seasons of trash.My fuel pump will thank me,also I`ve been chasing a lean condition on my pto side jug,should solve the problem.If you are thinking of carb rebuild MOST definitly include this simple valve cleaning.
