I use a can with the little red straw that clicks into the aerosol spray device and shoot a short spray into the throat of the carburetor. Assuming there is fire to the plugs, it should start up immediately and the increased pull on the fuel line will draw the gas on in and you would be good for the day. The problem with using starter spray is the absence of oil in the spray. That is why some use wd40 which contains oil. I'm not sure this is good advice with a pwc as new as yours. My vxr's have a rectangular plastic carb cover that I have drilled a small hole for the
red straw to go thru above the carb...saves having the take the carb cover off and put back on.....anybody doing this should make sure to take the cover off to drill the hole to avoid getting the little plastic filings down into the carb which would require a complete carb cleanout. I have also poured about a thimble full of gas-oil mix into carb....probably better way but more time-consuming........now I will deservedly get scolded by
the experts on this post................interesting post about switching to
reserve...think I will try that on the vxr's........
