Hi All
I have an AQ130C with new coil new plug leads new electronic ignition and new fuel pump also just fitted a new Webber 32/36 DGV carb.
I have had so many starting problems with this boat it is driving me round the bend, what I am getting now is I set everything up a week ago and it fired first turn of the key set tickover and throttle adjustment and took the boat for a good run starting and stopping and it started every time.
I went down Saturday and would not fire tried 4 or 5 times with no luck so checked everything again I have a very strong spark so electrics is good, disconnected the fuel pump turned engine over and plenty of fuel coming through, took filter off carb and operated the throttle and the carb is showing the jet as delivering fuel.
I phoned the supplier of the carb and he was adamant it would not be a carb problem due to the fact it run well the week before so I said could I not have a blocked jet and he said no and said it was probably a fuel pump problem although as I said it is a brand new pump made for this engine but he still said not a carb problem.
So I am in badly need of some help here, I have not tested the pump for correct PSI which Webber recommends 3.5 PSI but as I said it was running really well last week I have checked the plugs and they are bone dry and I might add they are also new so fuel is not getting to the plugs clean fuel also so can anybody with carb experience help me out.
