"During sea trials last Decemb
"During sea trials last December, both engines ran up to approx 3800 RPM WOT, reasonable I guess. Boat was winterized and stored for the season. Boat was prepared for launch last week, both engines were hard starting initially, especially the starboard engine. Ran the boat 29 miles across the Chesapeake from Tolchester to Baltimore. Could not get the starboard engine above 2000 RPM. Appeared to be starving for fuel. Decided to change filters once docked. All filters are changed, fuel is up to the fuel pump, but not at the top can filter just before the carburetor. I obviously thought the fuel pump was bad, or marginal. Previous owner had a new one in the original carton. Replacede the fuel pump, even though the one that was installed looked relatively new ? As if to say, not painted blue like the pump on the port engine. First indication of a fuel issue methinks. Anyway, same condition exists, after changing filters, and fuel pump, there is no fuel from the pump to the carb. I'm looking for feedback as to where to begin my search for answers. Should be obvious I know, but I'm at wits end.
Thanks in Advance !"
