I have had all 6 carbs rebuilt, a new fuel/oil pump, a ignition eye replaced. It ran great for a day and then rough at low speeds, it got so bad during the day that it would not even idle and I had to start it with the trottle half open just to get home. HELP!!

well, I put stabil and another substance in the gas tank that removes moistre, also I just put $10 in before I left the dock. As for the vro, I assume this is the oil tank. Haven't checked that. What do you suggest.

You need to install a fuel/water filter in the fuel line that will trap the crud & water from going into the motor. You want the type that has a replaceable filter much like an oil filter in a car.<br /><br />Hate to say it but you probably will have to go through the carbs again.
