Default x2 won't start unless handelbars are cocked to one direction

So i'm completely lost, this thing will not even engage starter relay if handelbars are in the straight position. I have to have the handelbars completely to the left or right in order for the starter to turn engine over, it fires right up and only runs when hadelbars are cocked to one direction. If I straighten them out it will die. I've tried this with the handlebar start switch completely removed so the wires aren't moving with the bars and it does the same thing. Tore apart handlebar start switch and cleaned it up, no exposed wiring in the start switch.

This is in the driveway with no hose, I've only ran it for 20-30 seconds in the driveway and have never had it in the water myself and don't know its history. At first it wouldn't start so I pulled carb off and apart and blew everything out with compressed air. Now it'll run great, but only with bars cocked to one direction. I've torn apart the cdi box, and starter relay box and both are very clean with newish looking connections. Battery is brand new as of yesterday.

I'm new to ski's, this is my first but I believe its a 90 650 and it appears to have a few upgrades: oil pump delete, 39mm keihin carb, ride plate... that's all I can see at this time.

Any help would be much appreciated as i'd like to get on the lake this Saturday.
