Well the motor is a 1973 65hp evinrude. Have had the boat back in the water for about 2 months now and she has run top notch, never even a hiccup. But yesterday I was out at the lake doing some kneeboarding and it started acting up. The symptoms are that it slowly runs out of steam almost like its losing the prime on the fuel system. All of the fittings and the tank are less than a year old so I don't think I have an air leak anywhere, but it has done this before and an air leak was the problem (hence the new tank and fittings/hose). The only other thing I can think of would be junked up carbs but it hasn't been sitting as I run it almost every weekend. Any ideas/comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. John.
