"I just bought my first boat and it has the above listed engine. It ran fine during the test drive, but of course when I got it home the first time it started acting up on me. Now the dealership won't stand behind it so I am left to somehow fix it. I have tried everything I can think of and it seems to be some type of fuel problem.
I replaced the main fuel filter, cleaned the carb filter and carb w/ carb cleaner spray. I pulled the line @ the fuel pump and then @ the carb and cranked it over and it sprayed a decent amount of fuel. I checked the anti-siphon valve and there is none, just a clear fitting installed.
It acts up in several ways, hesitates while driving, then after a while it will bog down and if I don't throw in neutral it will drive. After letting it set for 30 seconds, I can drive it again briefly then it does the same thing. Eventually it will just completely die and I crank and crank and cannot get it to start until I dmp gas down the carb throat. It will run until that gas is used up and die. Enough tries and I can get it running a little while longer until it does the same thing.
The last time it left me stranded I disconnected the fuel line @ the fuel pump and it was not blowing any fuel. Any ideas on what to do next? Thank you for any help you can give."
