Hey guys,
i have a 19 foot blue fin i rebuilt the boat from trailer up as it was thrashed to heck. took 3 years to get done as i had to work on it outside and i live in hard winter area. i made some changes, one was i replaced the plastic front mount tank to an aluminum below deck tank. the fuel return neck had to be replaced so it went in the proper direction. this took some welding and cutting so tank may have residue but i did rince out with gas before i hooked up.
first time out the motor ran good but i had a over temp alarm come one. so i took it home replace the water pump. took it out again yesterday with no alarm. and it ran good for just a little bit then the problem acured.
the problem
the motor idles and runs kind of fine at lower rpm and half throttle but wont hit high rpm unless i push in the choke then it takes off. so the reading i have done says its the high speed jets in the carbs.
my qestions are can it be to much oil in the mix as i know for sure i mixed it to rich in dealing with the temp issue?
the other question since the tank might be an issue is were do i put the fuel filter as my system just has screens but no filter. can i put it between the tank and the bulb as this would be the best for mounting or dose it have to be put between the bulb and the engine?
