Hey guys,
Took my boat out last night and cruising around the lake. When I would open it all the way up trimmed up all the way I could go 300-400yards and you could feel it start to bog down. If I reached back and pumped the bulb (while still wide open) it would pick up for a second and suck the ball flat.
If I brought it back to idle then pumped it. It would function as normal and get hard again. I could take off again and would eventually run into the same problem.
I replaced the diaphragm / rebuilt the pump a few weeks back but this issue was never resolved. All new fuel lines clean carbs.
Is this 100% a pump issue? Or could it be my fuel tank? It has an onboard 20gal tank.
Acceleration is great, top end is excellent, idle is good also.
It doesn't seem to do this with just me in the boat, or it isn't as noticeable. If I put a few more people in the boat it seems to affect it more. (I could just be crazy though)
