Hey Guys,

I'm a fairly new boater, the boat runs great when just cruising and all that, put when im pulling wakeboarders out of the water it bogs and stalls sometimes. I really have to ease into it to keep it from dying which makes it harder to pull the boarders up. This is on a 1991 Sanger DX w/ 350. If i need to provide more info let me know, other than that do you guys have any ideas that would help?

Thanks

Ayuh,... It sounds like the low-speed circuit of the carb is boogered up, or the acc. pump is lacking...
Either way,... Rebuildin' the carb should clear it up...

" I really have to ease into it to keep it from dying which makes it harder to pull the boarders up."

Just because the carb was rebuilt last season doesn't meant it can't be suffering this season. That's your first place to look; especially the accelerator pump circuit.
Second place to look is initial timing followed by total advance.

If its a 4 bbl., the air valve on the secondaries could be opening too early.
