Hi,
My Yam is bogging down in rough seas sporadicly. I have two theories, one that the fuel is reversing its flow as I pound through the waves (fyi the tank is midships and the fuel line is probably 15ft long and is below deck so I think it would have enough downward pull in rough seas to cause a reverse flow or slow it down.)
Or, the carbs have some particulates in them and when we go through the bumps it shakes it up off the bottom and causes a restriction. Only problem with this theory is that dropping it back to 6 knots would not reduce the suction enough to allow the particulate to drop away once it was picked up.
Bulb is fairly hard when it is acting up, although it will soften when the throttle is hit, but just for a few seconds. I think this is normal.
THoughts? I just don't want to pull the carbs apart if I dont have to. Can I put a inline fuel pump in to assist the pumps on the engine?
thanks!
Mike
