1985 32 foot Carver with twin crusader 350's 4-barrel carbs
Boats been running great all summer with regular use. Took it out yesterday and can't get it to run over 3,000 rpm with both throttles wide open. At about 3/4 throttle (3,000 rpm) it's got no more. Both engines identical and wasn't a issue two weeks prior when we were away for the weekend.
No missing or hard start, no overheating, idles perfectly and runs perfectly at 3,000 rpm -- wouldn't know anything was wrong except final 25% of throttle is dead.
Could it be fuel pumps?
Maybe 4 barrel secondaries not kicking in?
why would both engines be experiencing the identical problem?
any insight would be greatly appreciated.
