Ok so I haven't ran the boat in about 3 months. Ran fine last time we had it out. I started it up yesterday on the muffs and when I hit the throttle link at the carbs it bogs and coughs. If I ease into it it'll rev up and as long as the rpms are still high I can rev up no issues bit as soon as it returns to normal rpm and I hit it it bogs down again and will sometimes shut off. I pulled all 4 carbs and cleaned and blew out with compressed air, no better. I connected to aux tank, no better. I took vro apart diaphragms looked good. I checked engine filter and blew it out with carb cleaner it was pretty clean. I did notice that the primer solenoid leaks around the red lever when the key is pressed.. I ordered the rebuild with new, base and lever and gasket, but could this be the culprit? Maybe sucking air there? I changed power pack back in December and had it out like 3 times since, due to the harness was chafed bare and shorting out. Engine is the OIS. Ran like a champ until now. Any other ideas?
