Hey guys,
I have a ford 351 in my 25' whitewater with a volvo commander outdrive. I have been having a lot of problems with the engine lately. It started off with the bellhousing bearings which required removal of the engine, once re-installed I purchased a new holley 600cfm electric choke carburetor and installed new sierra manifolds and riser and a new coil. but I'm having problems with the boat shutting off. It will run all day on the hose perfectly, and for the first twenty minutes the boat is in the water in runs beautiful but within 20-25minutes of the boat running at idle speed it shuts off. Then itll start right back up and run consistent for 5 minutes then shuts off, then its a little bit harder to fire up again but eventually will and run for about two minutes, then itll take about twenty minutes for it to fire up again. We replaced the coil cause it was getting hot so we thought it was the coil but it still didn't solve the problem. I was thinking maybe its the condensor in the distributor? Any help is greatly appreciated. its been 6 months off the water. Thank you
