My 1998 225 tends to act up after warm up. I will launch the boat, start it and allow it to warm up. Get to my first fishing hole with the boat running great. After I shut the engine down and restart to go elsewhere it will never idle correctly and boggs down when I try to accelerate. After about 3 minutes of advancing the RPM's in nuetral and returning to forward it will act normal.

I have rebuilt all 6 carbs, checked spark on all plugs, adjusted all the carbs to get all the lean run out.

Removed VRO, mixed oil/fuel in tank and installed electric fuel pump with a 92 gph 7 psi. Runs great except when I am ready to go to the next hole.

Runs great on hose...I would like to perform a timming, synk and linkage adjustment but do not have a book to get the procedures. I have all the tools.

Does your electric pump shut off when the motors shut off?
Sounds like its flooding out

Yes it shuts off with the key. I used the VRO power for the pump. On/Off with key.
