"the boat will not go any fast then head way speed at full thottle it started last year right after I ran the boat out of gas I thought it was in the carbs.I just rebuilt both carbs and put it in the water same thing.I have changed the fuel tank and the feed line to the engine, Any idea's Thanks Todd"
 
"Todd I have a 50hp that I ran

"Todd I have a 50hp that I ran out of gas about a month ago. Now I have to replace my reeds on the lower 2 cylinders of the motor. I,m no boat mechanic nor do I know if running the gas out caused the reed problem, but I can tell you how to check. Look at the carbs while its ideling to see if either of them are spiting or misting fuel out of the troat(choke holes), If it is them you may have the same problem as me. Reeds are in the crank case but yours may be accessable from behind the carbs. Let me know if you have a carb spitting please. I was wondering if running out of gas caused this."

Outboards run out of fuel all the time and it does NOT cause any problems whatsoever.
 
"compression test, spark test,

"compression test, spark test, squeeze the fuel bulb, look at each carb while running to check and see if gas is going through, change stator"
