Motor is a 2000 115hp model J115PLSSB.
I'm about ready to sell the damn thing its just been a headache sunce I got it. Let me give you little bit more background of when the issues started. I bought the boat in August at a dealership put tge boat in a tank ran fine everything checked out. Took it out for a lake test a few days later started right up running fine for about 20 minutes decided to go WOT and see what she had, was running wot around 5000-5500 rpm boat jerked rpms dropped the revved back up keep doing this. Decided thst was enough went to start heading to ramp could not get the motor to run, it would start then as soon as I gave it throttle it would die trolled back to the ramp.Got home put the motor on muffs started right up idled fine.Took cover off just to look around pulled the fuel filter it was nasty with black stuff cut it open it was chucks of rubber hose, pulled fuel line and cut it it was clogged with rubber idk even know how fuel got through, Replaced the filter and line inside the motor, also replaced the line from tank to motor new bulb and everything. Figured that fixed the problem took it to the lake ran fine for about 20 minutes until I hit around 5000 rpm same issue of jerking and rom drop/rev. Trolled back went home, tried hooking up to muffs next day it would not idle longer then about 1 minute, tried external tank etc if you keep pumping the bulb it would keep running. Took to boat shop the said the carbs were dirty didn't have them clean them as they wanted 675 dollars. So since then I noticed the right side had no spark changed the plugs and power pack fixed the fire issue. Installss the used vro no change in how motor ran. Friend came out with external tank again tried again no choice. Hes saying it the stator and rectifier. The right side of the block was hotter to the touch then the left, he pulled rectifier it was really hot, it supposed to be water cool, the inside of the block was steaming. Could the stator and or rectifier be getting to hot sending wrong amount of voltage causing the fuel pump not to work or is this more of an fuel issue possibly both?Were do I go from here? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
