i know i need to post serial # and all that stuff here for everyone to help better but we just got off the lake so ill be doing that in the A.M.

our boat will approach 4500 ish rpm and after a few seconds ( 5-10-30 ) its rather random, will cut out and rev up to 4000 rpm, cut out then then rev a little bit lower 3800 rpm, ect... we dont let it keep cutting out, ill pull the throttle back out of respect.


normally we keep the motor running at 3000-3500 rpm and cruise but besides starting the boat in the driveway its only the 2nd time out on the water in 3 years.

i feel its the carb running out of gas, the large fuel filter is clean as can be, im not 100% sure if theres a small one in the carb but i know our carb builder doesnt use the little filters being they clog up with ease.


thankyou for the help guys, its greatly appreciated
