Afternoon all, I have been all over this motor the last several months chasing fuel leaks, etc. I finally got that all resolved and a new problem arose. I felt it once or twice in the late summer fishing a tournament at take off, just before planing out it felt like a misfire, only a couple times real quick. It never happened again so i blew it off as maybe prop slip. The next few times it never produced again. I fished a tournament back in October and right from take off, through plane out and on pad it did this again constantly, enough so that I stayed close to the ramp. When it came time to check in i ran back and it ran fine. I have been a technician for Dodge for 30 yrs and it feels like secondary ignition to, power pack going south? I am certain it is original on this 97 model. Boat idles great and never cuts out unless loaded. Compression in all holes is 120 psi give or take a couple. Carbs freshly rebuilt with new bowls. The only thing I haven't done is check spark gap jump. any ideas? I think i may replaced the power pack strictly for the fact its 20+ years old.
