Hello, I have a omc 115hp turbojet motor on my 1996 sunbird 17', basically the motor turns on with starter fluid and then I turn on the electric fuel pump to have the motor stay on. My problem is that it does not always stay on when its in water, but outside of water it will always turn on and stay on. It always cranks, I put seafoam in the gas tank because I think its a gas issue, I just rebuilt the carburetor but still happens. Im lost here and I basically replaced anything ignition related, I do not have the airbox on the carbs, does this affect it? the spark plugs are new aswell, when it does stay on in the water it only clocks in at 7 mph with 3 people onboard. also sometimes the boat will only turn on in the water when i have the throttle open a bit. any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
