Here is the continuing saga of my engine. I bought it secondhand and it had been stood a few years due to a blown amplifyer. I fitted a replacement amplifyer and it ran. But whan I took it on the water as soon as I opened the throttle up it died. So following good advice here I stripped and cleaned all ther carbs suspecting they were dirty with old fuel. Tried the boat again and still it only ran at idle, died every time I tried to oped the throttle. Still suspecting fuel starvation I took the fuel pump off and replaced it with a known good pump. Just got back fromthe boat ramp where, yet again, it will only run at idle -once I open the throttle it dies.
Any suggestions, please -I'm running out of ideas
