My boat was sitting for a few months and the last few times I have taken it out, I have noticed the following:<br /><br />1) Problem with initial start. I had never had any problems before.<br />2) Prime bulb not as firm.<br />3) When finally started - Idle is fine.<br />4) Acceleration is great for about a minute and then engine bogs down considerably (fuel restriction or something else?)<br /><br />When doing maintenance, I noticed what appeared to be crystals in the fuel filter. Are these additives in the gas that have crystalized out or is this my fiber glass gas tank breaking down? Boat is only four years old.<br /><br /><br />I have attempted the following to correct:<br /><br />1) Replaced inline filter and added a fuel/water seperator filter.<br />2) Replaced fuel lines up to engine, including new bulb. <br />3) Added fuel additives.<br /><br />Next, I was going to replace spark plugs. Any other suggestions?<br /><br />Help would be most appreciated.<br /><br />Diveextreme
