Then you can let off to a slower cruise speed. I have replaced the fuel pump and stator. It has the carbs with pressed...

    mid range dead spot

    I have a 1992 model 90 hp Force on my center console. It runs very well and starts up on a dime, however there seams to be an area at mid throttle where it either gets too rich or too lean.

    fuel pump diaphram

I tryed running it off a protable tank and had the same results. I took the fuel pump apart. I found no tears in the diaphram. My question...
