Cleaned carbs at beginning of season. Boat ran at 5700RPM with 2 people.
Ran fine for about 30 gallons, then wouldn’t pass 3400rpm. Pulled air cover and saw no fuel from middle carb.
Removed and cleaned carbs again. Found main jet on middle carb was clogged, probably came from internal fuel lines. Makes sense.
Put them back together and now it won’t pass 4500RPM. Even with 1 person on board. And fuel consumption is over 10GPH.
Ive noticed fuel/oil in the carb throats after it sits tilted up.
I did my best to get carb adjustments back to factory, I.e. 1 - 1 1/2 turns out.
Does this sound like a carb float issue, or something else?
