Had the boat out yesterday. First time of the season. Hard to start, starts right up when I spray starter fluid down the throat of the 4 barrel carb. I left it running all day because of hard start. Gauges all read normal. Worked great 93% of the 3+ hour session. 3 times while I was pulling wakeboarders or tubers, it kind of lost power or stumbled. I would guess the hard starting might be a failed accelerator pump in my carb. I would like to know how to figure out if I have primarily a fuel delivery issue or an ignition issue. I realize I can just start replacing parts on either side and maybe take care of my problem. I would rather focus on the real issues first rather than throw money at all of it. (Hope I didn't leave out pertinent details.)
