Well got it out on water today. Run great about 30mph no issues. Then bam fell on it's face. Paddling back lol fun fun I believe I'm having carb issues just took them apart and the bowls are full of gunk and trash ehhh. Live you learn

Also if I pull the hood off while in the water there is water down at the bottom. Not up to the engine just a small amount at the very bottom is this normal or maybe an I having issues there to

Just to be more clear on my current issue. Choke is fixed it had to be adjusted in the bracket and now works perfectly. So when I took it out today. It started off amazing ran great. Jumped right up on plane maybe 25 30mph. Trim the engine up a little opened it back up and stared off great then cut off and would not start back. Let set for a few while paddling back to ramp. Tried starting again and it fired up went full throttle to ramp and other boats caused me to have to throttle down and it died again would not start almost like it's flooding.Got it home took carbs apart just removed the bowls and they are full of trash and gunk pretty bad. Could this have caused my issue. Thanks In advance

Yes, the bowls need to be clean.... no gunk.
Read through your thread and seams you have had to clean out the carbs more then one time.
I would suggest you to clean out the whole fuel system, from the tank through the fuel line and fuel pump then in to the carbs.
Put a clear inline fuel filter between the fuel pump and the carbs.
Much easier to troubleshoot and you can se if it has fuel to the carbs and you have another second filter for the fuel.
There is a screen filter in the inlet cap of the fuel pump.

Man; clean those carbs!! Set those floats to specs-very important and install see through fuel filter before the carbs-and off your go. That choke thing is a head scratcher-had it happen to me lol

 

[Poormansboating]

I know I've cleaned the whole system carbs and screen. Think I found problem. All I had was a six gallon plastic jug. Found 12g used metal jug appears clean. Sloshed gas around before installing and looked good. Took cap off looked down and tons of rust floating around in it

Got carbs off gonna clean them tonight when I get off work and try it again Wednesday.

 

[puffitu]

You got a water/fuel separator? How olds the gas in the tank? Have you inspected the fuel lines and connectors? Vent?

 

[Poormansboating]

About three days old

 

[puffitu]

Yeah, rust=bad news in or on anything. But you may have to REALLY clean the entire fuel system now cause a particle the size of a grain of sand or even smaller can block carb passages from functioning correctly

 

[puffitu]

The entire fuel system has to be cleaned; if it was up to me-good luck

 

[Poormansboating]

Oh I know that tank is going in the scrap pile lol

 

[Poormansboating]

Gonna work on it tonight and tomorrow night after work. When I'm cleaning the carbs should I take them completely apart as last time I cleaned them I just removed all three bowls and cleaned out with carb and choke cleaner. Cleaned the whole carbs down and soaked them over night in seafoam.

 

[Poormansboating]

You mentioned setting floats to spec. I haven't removed the floats. There was a little spring were the screw goes into were the bowl hooks up. Took that out and cleaned up inside the as good as I could last time I cleaned the carbs

 

[puffitu]

Yes the floats have to be set to specs as per your manual; when upside down they have to be level and drop has to be so they don’t touch the carb body-the spring makes sure the pin operates properly. Clean them and blow them out with compressed air.

 

[Poormansboating]

Ok will do gonna do it tonight hopefully. Gotta stop get some cleaner after work.

 

[Poormansboating]

I don't have a manual but I will do my research

Fram G-2 G-3 G-12 what ever fits your fuel line.
All 3 are good small particle filters.

I installed a G-2 on a travel lift that was plagued with fuel delivery problems. It worked great until someone tried burning water instead of gas

 

[Poormansboating]

Yeah definitely gonna put one on there
