    Yup, I Agree, I did change the Power Pack Last Year, so maybe the Stator? The Biggest Problem is finding Time to actually Play with this problem and Use the Boat More. I thought for sure I had water in the fuel tank, I just did not see any when I drain 3 gallons out of it. A bunch of people I...

    Thanks racerone, if the carburetors are clean of debris then, maybe I will have to go in that direction. That might lead to a hard decision. Thank You Sir, Scott

    CT, I just re-read this reply, sorry I am talking about the crankcase fitting and line that connects to the fuel pump. I was thinking that maybe the case tube or fitting or "seal" (o-ring) For the fitting might be bad causing the fuel pump to not have sufficient Vacuum. I have not done a...

    Jimmbo, Last year I added a water fuel seperator in case. I had water in the fuel tank or "bad" gas. When I replaced the fuel line this year I bypassed that and the fuel filter near the pump so right now I am running directly from tank fitting to fuel pump in. Carb bowl drain would be next. I am...

    Hello All, My Engine Idles Fine, starts up every time I turn the key But when I get over 2 grand in rpm it will stutter, then Bog down until I pull back the throttle. I tried squeezing the the fuel hose bulb when it would act up and it makes a difference, smooths out and continues like it should...
