Hello everyone. I just had the motor serviced and fixed. Mechanic put on new powerpack, rectifier, starting silenoid, carb rebuild kits, spark plugs and a complete checkout. I took my boat to the lake this weekend and put it in the water and nothing. It would turn over great and had good fire, but all three plugs were soaked with gas. I would take out the plugs and shoot them with carb cleaner and let them dry. I let the cylinders air out and dry too. After that it would start and run, it was a little sluggish and didnt seem to have the power that it should. But if i killed the motor for a little bit it would do the same thing. Was wondering if the fuel tank vent is clogged and it is like 100+ degrees outside. Would or can the fuel tank build up enough pressure that when you try to start it, it force to much gas into the carbs and flood it? Thank you in advance for your response.
