Went back to the lake this afternoon. Boat ran great when we put in. Tubed for 15 mins, then cruised for 10, then boat started missing. <br />Got really bad with a tuber.<br /> My boat has the filter on top of the fuel pump. I decided to remove the filter. No fuel came out when I pulled the cover, and the filter wasnt dripping. No improvement.<br /> Let boat sit and decided to check the points. They hadnt closed up, but I sanded them while I had it open.<br /> Left engine covers open. Boat took 15 secs or so to fire, but then ran smooth.<br /> Rode across the lake with the covers open, boat ran great. Closed the covers and told the wife it must be fixed. <br /> Hadnt gone 200 yards and it started missing again.<br /> So, Is it:<br /> a)burning the points like the condenser is bad.<br /> b)overheating and vapor locking<br /> The Clymer manual said the early ones had a problem with vapor locking. <br /> If so, how can if fix it.<br /><br /> Thanks ,<br /> Rick Edwards
