"I too may have a carb problem
"I too may have a carb problem but have no idea what I might need to check. This is my first boat and am learning much. However this one has stumped me. I have a 24' Bayliner with the 454 Merc. It starts up just fine and travels all rmp ranges when in neutral. However, under load it doesn't want to accept anymore gas above 3500 rpms and want to cut out. At this 3500 rmp range it runs just fine which is just above half throttle and I can cruise all day but at only 18 mph and I know this boat can go faster. But like stated before if I try to give it mor gas it wants to stall out so I have to back off the throttle. Would anyone have any ideas for what I may need to look at?
Thank You,
Mike"
