Re: 1989 force 150 missing out under wot

You have 2 fuel pumps.Check the diaphrams.Ethanol is messing up a lot of motors.It's delaminating the inside of older hoses causing clogs in the carbs and fuel filter.Check for soft hoses and junk in the filter on the motor.Check the diaphrams and fuel filters for water.You have a fuel/water seperating filter?Get one.and check it every time you use the boat.I have one from Racor with a sediment bowl.

Try cleaning and re-tightening your wiring.Check for looseness or corrosion at the ground connections.This worked for me!Good luck.:)

You check for spark?THen go through the carbs.Make sure the linkage is opening the carbs at the same time.J
