"I have a 1993 Chris Craft Con
"I have a 1993 Chris Craft Concept 185, 18' Bowrider with a 130 horsepower 3.0L OMC Cobra sterndrive. The problem I am having is this... very intermittently when I initially put in gear and begin to accelerate the engine will stumble/hesitate, after about 15-30 seconds of this hesitation the RPM's will begin to rise and the engine will then operate normally.
A little background on some recent repairs. On our second trip out this spring, the engine failed due to some water in the fuel...now a $500.00 tow bill, a rebuilt carb, and new fuel filter & water separator later the engine runs great, with the exception of the above issue.
Just one point of clarification the hesitation issue has occurred as long as I've owned the boat (2yrs), and does not seem to have been impacted by the water/fuel issue or the subsequent repairs.
Any thoughts would be appreciated..."
