Boat&motor- 1986 21' bayliner capri-aq225e #cu56837..... 305 with a quadrajet...
boat ran fine for the past 8 trips.... this last trip it ran good most of the day just fishing.. then i pulled the tube for about 5 minutes and it started acting up... sounded like it was starving for fuel so i got back to the dock with the throttle one postion it would speed up and slow down continuiously made it back and boat died and would not do anything... got it home and found a wire coroded into on the relay on the motor next to the ignition fuse on the motor.. fixed that and then it fired right up but still the same issue with it sounding like a fuel issue...... it was an old carb so i rebuilt it did the 24 hr soak and air pressure put it back on.. same issue for 20 or 30 min then all of a sudden it ran great rev up good and all for about 5 min then it died and now the same issue again????????????? i ran it out of a gas can to see if was a tank issue but same thing..... could it be the coil or batteries or points???? hope someone can help!!!
