Hey all, new member here and I have an 93 IMP eleganza with a 454. I took it out on the lake today and everything was fine for about 30-40 minutes. While going at a pretty good speed but not topped out I hear a loud popping sound coming from the motor. I slow down to check it out and put her into idol. I'm still hearing the popping sound but it is not in a pattern or constant like it would be with lets say a rod knocking and its a much different sound. It sound like a cap gun going off but much louder. I open the motor cover and it sounds like its coming from the carb. I check my temp gauge, oil gauge and all is fine. She is not smoking and when I give her gas she had not lost power but the noise gets louder. It gets louder but no more constant. so RPMs does not effect the popping noise. It does sound like the carbs are back firing. I just wanted to ask to see in anyone has any ideas?I was able to get her all the way back to the boat ramp. This is my first boat and the very first time I have ever launched a boat or even been on the water other then on friends boats. Any help would be great! Kinda messed up my Fathers Day plans!
