I put the boat in on friday, it ran great on muffs,took it out on sat for a short run,all was good, took it out on sun ran it a little harder and when I backed off the throttle I could hear the engine was bogging every once in a while, like it was choking.I backed off a little more and could tell it was running rough so I took it back to the marina, if I tried giving it gas it just wouldn't get going.
I had just changed the fuel water separator, changed the plugs from ul77v to jc4 gapped at .30 in.,put 10 gals fresh gas/oil,always mix decarb since the engine was rebuilt in 2001,also add stabil ethanol treatment.I pulled the plugs some 2 were dryish, 1 had black dry crud allover and the others looked normal.I did a compression test and all cyls were @90-94.
I was told maybe it's the carbs slimed over with water,and to drain the carbs.After doing this what should I do?, what am I looking for?.I read about adding seafoam to the gas tank, but it seems debatable.
I'm going out to buy a new fuel filter, and gas lines and will replace them also.
Any other advice?
