I have removed the failing VRO and fitted the two fuel pumps necessary. Running on a 3/8 hose and bulb from a small fuel tank through the fill hole eliminating the possibility of fuel starvation from the boat tank. The filter in the motor is clean and the carbs are clean and rebuilt by me. Fuel is flowing freely. Compressions are 95-100. Leak down shows 5psi at 80psi on all cylinders. The cylinders are not scored and have good original cross hatch. Motor idles well and comes up easily off load in the tub. At turn over, with the starter, sparks are good at idle and fully advanced. I have removed and checked the carbs again and they are clean. The motor dies at anything past 2K on load.
Stumped!
