recently restarted boat after a couple of monthes of sitting due to electrical probs, completed repairs and ran engine in yard for about 15 mins. with no problem. Refired boat next day before launching and started right up. after launching reversed off of trailer and tryed going forward enging bogged and died, restarted fine but, would bogg and die at idle to the point of no refire. carbs were rebuilt about 1 year ago. not sure but think maybe water in gas from recently adding 10 gallons to an empty tank. added fuel dry to tank. however, is there an easy way to rid of water from carbs without another rebuild?
Answer once the water is in the carbs...you can pull the drain plugs out and let it drain...to prevent the water from getting to the engine install a fuel seperator/filter to the fuel line assy. in the splash well...run the fuel out just keep dumping the filter or seperator...when it fills with water..
