"I have a 1990 4.3 that has been making me nutz. I asked last fall about stalling after the engine was up to temp. With your help I got that straighted out. Friday we were 14 miles from the marina on lake Erie and decided to go in. Earlier I thought the boat was lacking in power but we had an additional 300# person with us so I didn't think much of it. On the way back in it took forever to get on plane and ran ok for about 6 miles then it lost power and we limped the rest of the way in. I have changed the water separator and the coil and check the ESA for proper operation. Planning on rebuilding the carb and replacing the fuel pump. I'm just tired of chasing. What I could really use is a GOOD mechanic in Western PA. Not just someone like me, that charges $75 and hour and still can't find anything, but someone that can fix it. Any suggestions?"
