So it continues.
Went to the Detroit fireworks last night.
Can't believe it started to rain when fireworks started and stopped when fireworks show was over. :o
Boat ran flawlessly all the way up and a little more than half way home. We were downbound in the Livingstone Channel and Mr. Port decided it was time for a break. :shock: Would not go above 1500 rpm. :? Got to Frenchman's Creek and decided to go in on the starboard engine and save the port for docking.
I think we broke out the champagne a little to early. :lol:
Anyway back to reading early posts in this very long post. :oops:

My standard advice when one encounters symptoms you reported: Check the filter (usually cg-11) at the point where the fuel line enters the carb. It historically causes what you ran into

I removed the cg-11 filter for that very reason.

Running Carter AFB's no filter in carb :!:
Water/fuel filter separators are 20 micron.
The metal canister fuel at the carb is 10 micron.
Fuel is fresh and 89 octane Agri fuel. (no ethanal)

:shock: Noooooooo!!!!.... Ok now thats out of the way hows the vacuum on the intakes? and is there a chance that the bi-metal choke has something wrong with it like it might be closing or opening when it should be the other way around. I rember reading somewhere in this encyclopedia of a post that there was some issue with them like they were hitting something and not actuating fully i could be wrong though I get about three pages in and i get dizzy sometimes :roll:

I'd remove those screens. They only filter out large particles that your regular filters will catch.
