I have an '86 Force 125 that was running great the other day. I was running for about a mile at 4500 rpms, we stopped and fished for a few hours, then my three year old wanted to take a run around the lake before we left. Everything was going great and then I stopped fast to pick up some trash that blew out of someone elses boat. I started back up and just after crossing 3000 RPM's, the motor started cutting out and in, like it was flooding or loosing spark.
When I got back to the landing, noticed the clamp had came off of the exhaust boot, but it was still in place, however, there was some water in the housing (not sure if it came in through the boot, highly doubt that it did). Would there be enough suction in the carbs to pull water in? Also, there was gas sitting in the black covers on the carbs.
I just had the carbs rebuilt and replaced the powerpacks. The plugs were all clean, the vent to the gas tank was open, and all of my wires were inplace and tight. Could a fuel pump crap out that fast?
