"I have a 1983 Bayliner Explor
"I have a 1983 Bayliner Explorer with this engine and am having some trouble. After the engine is good and warm it starts surging and will die unless I pump the throttle and slow down, and if I idle for a few minutes I can give it gas and it will get to 4000 rpm or so then start sputtering out again. Until today it would idle just fine, but now that is starting to be unsteady as well. I've checked the compression and all 4 cylinders are within 3-4 pounds of 175. It has the electronic ign. conversion. The boat sat for quite a while with 1/2 tank of gas which I have drained and replaced, also replaced the fuel filter. I'm thinking I'll replace the fuel pump and rebuild the carb. Also the exhaust bellows has a small hole, I'm going to replace that as well. Am I missing anything really obvious?"
