My problem might be similar to the post zarx put up on the forum. When I give the engine full throttle is responds and starts to get the boat to plane out. Then it suddenly backs off, as if it was at half throttle. The primer bulb appears to stay hard while this is happening (or at least when i check it after the engine backs off). The tank to my vent isn't clogged, my fuel line and water separator are brand new as well as a new inline filter.<br /><br />Question: Could my problem be clogged carbs and/or a bad fuel pump? <br /><br />I always thought, and I am by no means an expert, that if the carbs needed cleaning the engine would run at WOT but have problems at idle speeds.<br /><br />Also my stator, switchboxes, and trigger are all brand new.<br /><br />Any help, comments, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
