Just found that there was a bulb near the fuel tank that had the flow arrow the wrong way. So i swapped it.

Havent been on the water to test if issues are fixed but could that have been the problem with bogging down and failing at low speed?

I assumed it would not have let any fuel through so how did the boat run at all.

Cheers

The check valves in the primer bulbs are not the worlds best, the fuel pump does create pulses and those could possibly unseat the check valves ever so slightly letting a wee bit through before reclosing

I've had friends put them on backwards and experience issues like you're describing, possibly found your problem good luck bud.

No dice. Nothing changed.

On first start i can rip around the lake full power, wakeboard etc no big deal.

Now if i shut er down or stall then problems start.

Its at the same point on the throttle everytime. About half way in. No matter how quickly i push it forward.
