So here is the latest update since I got the new ignition module about a month ago. Making progress but everything is not perfect yet. I've now gone through a couple tanks of gas. The boat runs well at idle up through about 1000 RPM and over 3000 RPM. It likes to run at higher speed however it the mid range between 1500 and 2500 RPM once warmed up and I slow down off plane it misses and sometimes surges. Seems like when it climbs back on plane this goes away and it runs fine. When going out and the boat has not been run yet if it sometimes will briefly sputter or backfire when I throttle up quickly to get on plane the first time. I'm wondering now it the current problem might be fuel/carb related as when on plane the boat is using 4 barrels but at that mid RPM range and not on plane it's not using all barrels and not getting enough fuel from just the primaries. Thoughts? Thanks
