I have a 1990 90 hp force runs realy bad . i ran it on the lake one day ran good pulled up to the dock and it would'nt start again I found # 3 piston burn't 100% leakage removed head all 3 burnt replace all . now i have 130 psi on all 3 and vary little cyl leakage have great spark cranking timing at 28 at wot , it starts and dies .choke it and it pops stop choke manually throttle it half way some times it will run and run well , and idle i adjust the carbs it will idle good then die wont start again choke it and it pops runs a little smoke really badly and back fires and dies. carbs rebuild the replaced with good running ones it also has a new stator coils flywheel and plugs . fuel pressure is 4-5 psi i tried removing vapor recovery hose changing fuel vent on tank i spayed choke spray all over looking for a vacume leak and it didnt change anything. any help would be greatly appricated.

I didnt replace the crank seals does anyone know how to test them. thinking back the first time out this summer boat died and wouldnt restart let it sit 2 weeks with plugs and carbs of rebuild carbs and it ran good had it in water for 10 min then wouldnt restart thats when i found the bad pistons

I would double check your woodruff key onthe flywheel. When it back fires sometimes the key shears off. Mine was doing the same thing run rough and then back fire and die wont start for a while afterwards. i replaced the key and it fired right back up and ran fine.
