So I have a '89 Black Max xr4. When I first got my boat the motor ran good but has gradually gotten worse. At first I thought it was a bad fuel line so I've changed that, changed all filters several times thinking it was ethanol build up, and now have just recently cleaned the carbs. So now here's there weird part. I fish a lot so i could tell when it was getting worse. It started with a hesitation in take off, the got worse and now, when you try to go anything faster than just idling in gear in stalls. I've heard stator but I'm not for sure, any help would greatly be appreciated.
