"The motor is the ford 351w with a holley 4 barrel carb. I've done all tune up related maintenance except play too much with the carb. Upon take off there is a slight dead spot around 1000rpms, sometimes will stall. Will sometimes also sputter and die when cruising on the lake around 3000rpms. Was pulling tubes and skier this past weekend and it died a few times. Will start again after a few seconds. I'm thinking it is a fuel issue? I replaced the fuel pump last year but the issue hasn't changed. I've had the boat for 3 seasons now and have never had the carb gone through. Could it be bad jets or leaks in the carb, maybe not set up right? Could it maybe need a carb kit installed? Anyone with any ideas? thanks"
