Hello everyone, I have been having some issues with my motor losing power at high speed. This has happened the last two times I went out. I will be cruising along and the motor will start to lose power at go back down to about 1500rpm and then back up and back down. Sometimes it will shut off completely. The primer bulb is solid when this happens and I don't think I have any air leaks in the fuel lines. It only does it when I am above 3/4 throttle and I have had to chug back to the ramp at slow speed. I just rebuilt the carbs, new fuel pump, new filters, new fuel tank, and new alcohol resistant fuel line. The boat ran fine right after the carb rebuild but it sat for a couple months and I have been having the problem ever since. I am at a loss and this has been really frustrating. Oh yeah, the motor is really hard starting sometimes and even when it sits for more than ten minutes it can be hard to start.
I am thinking that maybe the carbs may still have something stuck in them that i missed because it seems to be a fuel issue. Can anyone give me any ideas what else to check?
