"i recently bought a carver with twin 270 crusaders. the boat sat for two years. sea trials went well. took position, first run 1 hr out the port engine bogged down from my crusing speed of 3000 rpm to 1800. ran good their but would not accelertate back up. changed fuel filter. the old was very dirty. boat ran good from milwaukee to cheboygan mich. two weeks later same thing. port engine bogged just like before. replaced fuel filter,(old one wasn't bad). started engine ran for 3 seconds and quit. checked fuel filter. bone dry. changed feed to port engine from the starbord tank. cranked engine and still wouldn't start. checked canister again. still no gas. adjusted gas manifold so the port engine again would be feed from the port tank. removed allen bolt on fuel pump. cranked engine and could feel a suction and no gas. removed gas outlet feed from the fuel pump and cranked engine. 3 seconds i got fuel. put system back together and turned her over engine ran great....one week later running at crusing speed slowed down, kicked her up few minutes later and same thing,bogging down again. this time i pumped the throttle a few times and entered port at 1800rpm. next day took her out. all ok.
note...when i crossed lake michigan the port engine burned 1/4 tank more fuel than the starbord.
any information would be helpful.
thanks
