'78 volvo aq130d(4cyl)/280outdrive twin solex carbs, 18 1/2' tri-hull(paul emerson boat from costa mesa, ca). when i go to pull my kids skiing, upon initial acceleration the engine bogs down, will almost die when i floor it. i can kind of nurse it thru this dead spot, but it just drags them. doesn't do it nearly as bad with no load. if you know any thing about this problem please give me your thoughts. i'm very do it myself and can probably fix this with your help. thanks again

The carbs have material(mud in them) on the bottom of the fuel bowls. The acceleration circuit is in the bottom of these carbs.The acceleration passage is blocked. These carbs are easy to clean. You can buy carb kits thru Sierra 18-7001.This is a very easy carb to rebuild.
