Thank you. Changing the fuel filter should be easy. I will do it.Do as suggested with the remote tank. To me it sounds like you don't have much mechanical knowledge. Do you have a friend close to your area that knows a bit more? Also changing fuel filters as suggested would be a good thing.
It seems a big job. I am located Toronto area ontarioJust be very careful using a gas bucket container that it will be restrained with some rope and not leak out into the boat. You do not want a fire.
The outboard 6 gallon tank is the most safe way to test for fuel starvation.
Your #4 cylinder has a bad exhaust valve. I also think that the rear of the exhaust manifold is letting water flow back into the engine. That could also keep the engine from making full power.
You need to find someone who can remove the cylinder head and have an engine shop repair it. Also get a new complete exhaust manifold.
Where are located? I know that parts are hard to get in some parts of the world.
To me it’s not a big job. But I have been turning wrenches since I was 9 years old. Of corse if you find a reliable shop, it may cost more than the boat is worth. It’s up to you to have a reliable friend who knows what they are doing or take it To a shop.It seems a big job. I am located Toronto area ontario
