I gave it another look before going out on the big lake tonight. I checked both filters, turns out filter on the carb had rubber pieces in it from when I checked the tank siphon. Swapped filter out and now the boat runs perfect. I'm still going change the power piston at the end of the season...

This is what I was referring too. It's what controls the power valve by vacuum from what I have read.

My carb kit came Wednesday and I did a rebuild. One thing I noticed was that the power piston was bent, which I think I did end of last season when I was all stressed out from it running like **** and didn't make sure it was seated right before cranking it down bowl cover. Took boat out...

I will definitely give that a try. Thank you

So update. I pulled the carb apart to see if anything looked off and ripped the gasket, so f it, I'll rebuild it again. I did notice that the accelerator pump had a broken tab around the plunger, so now I want to make sure it's not in there floating around. Any suggestions on which carb kit is...

I would have to figure out how to do that. I think the ear thing would be good for me. I just don't want the thing to smoke like it is.

Per Tronix and it calls for resisted in the directions. The choke butterfly arm was not centered in the electronic choke coil.

Ok, I will do that when I go out today. I had a few different things going on that I have straightened out. One being the wrong coil, I switched over to electronic ignition and thought the accel super stock coil would work. After further inspection I realized it has no internal resistor, which I...

Well I'm the one looking for help, so I'll take your advice and tinker with it in the morning. Thanks for your help on this.

I definitely have that going on. Is the needle on the bottom of the carb? 1 1/2 back?

I'm pretty sure I set the float right. I learned how to do it watch Mike's carburetor on YouTube. I changed the coil over to a flame thrower, seems to run and sound better. I still have a good amount of smoke, but I feel it's all the carbon burning off. I also checked all cylinders for...

I think I have it figured out. When I converted over to electronic ignition, I didn't change coil over from the accel super stock coil I had on there. Although it's a 12volt, 3 ohm, 40,000volt, it's not internally resisted. I ordered a flame thrower that is, so hopefully this will correct the...

I'll check it out tomorrow and post what I come up with. Worked on compression test today, but after further research, I didn't do it the right way.

After market fuel pump, so I have see what pressure it's pumping and see what that is supposed to be at to rule the pump out.

With muffs, rich and black smoke. Which I believe is fuel.
