RobbyZ5001 Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Last winter I did not run the gas out of the lines. I dont know if that is the problem or what, but everytime I take my boat out and throttle it up it chokes out. I can go slower and it will be fine, but once I throttle all the way up it just shuts down. I changed the gas in the gas tank. I tried another gas tank. I tried running it with the gas cap off. I don't know what it could be I took it to the boat mechanics in my area. Neither mechanic could find anything wrong with it. I dont know if they hooked it up to diagnostics or what they did. Any help would be appreciated thank you! -Robby Quote

TopDog Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Check the spark plugs and all the fuel lines. I hate when you cant figure things out. Good luck man! Quote
HPBB Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 sounds like the carbs need cleaned/rebuilt, or maybe just adjusted running the gas out doesn't stop this from happening. You should always use a fuel stabilizer to help prevent the fuel sysytem from gumming up. when storeing. I never run the gas out of my motors, just add the stabilizer and fog them. Quote

surfer Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 So add a can of Sea Foam (or your favorite carb detergent) to your fuel and try running it through. Sometimes it works and it's less than $10. Quote
