  1. Update:

    Did all the fuel filters, checked the fuel tank shut-off valve, check valve, tired running on the port tank with the bypass open, changed out the coil, new distributor cap, checked carb secondaries.

    We did 6 water tests with high hopes we had solved the problem, but every time we did it died at 2500-2700 rpm. I was officially put on suicide watch fearing the worst, we where just about to go and get the compression tester we we noticed one of the fuel line hose clamps had been stepped on and the hose was basically pitched/flattened shut!!!!!!!!!! This is when the whole day turned around...... we went back out for another water test and it ran like a rapped ape!!!!!!!!!!! Very strong, ton's of power and a real treat to drive. We also managed to cristen the new Tiara with some Chinook Salmon blood !!!

    YEE HAAA, live is good!!

    Thanks everyone for all the advice!

    Great site.

    Success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :605_thumbs_up:

  2. Considering you had a professional survey done prior and all the hauling that has been performed,,yup sediment and or the ethanol crud has reared it's ugly head,,,,I had similiar problem on my motor,,,I changed all the lines.

    I basically performed a bypass,,the one line going from the primer ball to the engined was "ethanol ized".

    New filters and check the internal look of your lines. I will post some pics of my experience shortly.

    Welcome aboard and Best of Luck,

  3. Hello Lance here (lprizman),

    Fish Narragansett Bay Rhode Island,,blues, stripers, Tautog, and whatever else bites.

    Been boating all my life from aluminum skiff as a kid, various sailboats with my Father (on both coasts)to my current and quite possibly my last boat,,only because I just love it. Now I got to find a puppy to bring along with me.

    My last boat was a 18' procraft for the lake I lived on in RI,,,a lake is fun,,but the ocean is where it's at,, :605_thumbs_up:
