"The problem is that during a wide open throttle run, the boat will start to lose power and will die if I do not back off the throttle into an idle. I have a fuel separator and have changed it several times, but I have never changed it when it has stalled and failed to restart. When I took it out today, I changed the water separator during the run and when I took it off it was under pressure, which sounded like when you open a can of soda. I have the separator located before the fuel pump (which I have also changed). Each time the boat would start stalling, I would just release the pressure on the water separator and it would run fine for a very short period of time. I also have a problem when filling my gas tank it overflows out of the fill cap before being full (around 1\4 of a tank or so). I have checked the tank vent and it breathes fine. I have also checked the fill line and it is also free of obstruction. I have run the boat without the water separator with the same results as above. It seems like it is vapor locking the motor, only problem is that I do not where it could be happening. I have tried running the boat with the fuel cap off to see it would help, with no luck. I have also taken the pick up valve out and changed the anti-siphon valve, and I have rebuilt the carburetor. I have noticed that problem only happens after it’s down to ¾ of fuel. I think it’s the tank, but what in it - I do not know. If anyone can help and let me know if I am on the right track and if so what should I replace next? I was thinking of replacing the tank, but I don’t want to do that and find out it wasn’t the problem."
