"1978 31' Silverton Twin s

"1978 31' Silverton Twin screw 318's. The problem I have been having is that one of the engines idles fine and will run fine around and in the marina area. When I take her out and try to bring her up to speed she would stall. I would then need to use starting fluid to get her started again as if she was not getting enough gas. I just replaced the carb with the Eldle 1490 elec choke. Took her out today and same problem. I had replaced both of the in-line fuel filters. I was told that it might be the fuel pump, not pumping as good as she should be. My next step is to replace it. Any ideas?"
 
"Start there.

PS: Have you checked to see if you have anti-syphon valves at the fuel tank and, if so, they are working properly?"
 
would there be an anti syphon

would there be an anti syphon valve for each engine? If so where would they be located. On the tank? I only have the problem with the one engine. Thanks.
