Well it finally happened. The dreaded problem on the water. First time out for the year. My 06 Q6 5.0 carbureted was out on the water yesterday and gave me some fts. Started up fine, idled thru no wake zone and warmed her up. Gave her the gradual increase she`s runing good. 500 yards later , poof ! She shutters a little and shutsoff. She would start fine but would repeat the same problem over and over. She would run fine at idle and move fine at 2000 rpm or so. Thats how I got her back to the dock. It`s just when I got on her she would come out nice and smooth for several hundred yards and shutdown. All regular maintenance has been done on her as required. Seems like fuel starvation. Ran fine on the cuffs at home before going to the lake. I did put a new mercruiser water seperator onher the day before we went out cause I had remembered that was the one thing I didnt do when winterizing. I`m wondering If I could have put the wrong water seperator on or maybe my fuel pump isnt keeping up?? The guy at the parts desk didnt look up the number he just said the one on the shelf was form my boat Mercruiser 35-802893T. Stabilizer used in tank as required. Any experiences like this out there??
