Well, Thanks to all the input I got from this board, I got my boat out for the first time this weekend. I still have a pretty chunky idle but I plan on doing a carb rebuild this weekend to cure that.<br /><br />Here's the rub. I got out on the lake and after sufficent warm-up I slowly brought the motor up to WOT. It ran great for about 25 minutes! I then made a pretty sharp turn to port, and the engine almost died. I managed to keep it running, and it smoothed out a bit, but it startd to surge at WOT. I don't have a tach, but for example sake, let's say it surged between 4500 prm at WOT, and then bogged down to 3000 rpm, then back up to 4500, then down to 3000 etc. It continued this oscillation till I got it back to the trailer. It ran fine at about half throttle, and the idle was about the same as it has always been.<br /><br />The bulb was full of fuel, no visible fuel leaks, full tank of gas. Correct oil mixture, BRand new plugs which looked fine after the run.<br /><br />Could it be water in the tank? If so, how do I remove water from the fuel?<br /><br />Thanks again!<br /><br />------------------<br />Boat_Boy!
