Hello Everyone,<br /><br />First I would like to thank everyone on this board for helping my husband and I fix several problems we have had. 
We have gone from not running at all and trim problems to running with problems lol. Saved quite a bit of money so far as well. Here is the issue at hand:<br /><br />Boat sat for 2 years. We have cleaned carbs well with rebuild kit. Brand new battery. Drained tank and added fresh fuel mixture 50:1 and have run about 3 tanks full through it. New primer bulb and lines in and out. Primer bulb exploded first time in water. New plugs. Checked fuel filter seems fine. At first would only run at like 5 mph. Have done a lync and sync...but still doenst seem right, doenst want to plane out. Finally does after a bit and will run but doenst seem like its getting all of its HP. Then after dropping to an idle it will bog down and die just about everytime. It has a hard time starting. After messing with it for a while on the water such as spraying carb spray into carbs, and priming bulb it will run sometimes or not, but eventually do the same thing again. Or, we try to start it so much that we have a dead battery. Bulb seems to stay hard most of time. I have read so many posts here and cant seem to find a fix. The tank is a built in tank and was very full of sludgy gas. Im wondering if the tank might still have some sludge getting in lines even after running 3 tanks of gas thru it. Maybe a power problem? Drinks gas like a V8 engine too It has two lines coming from it, both have been replaced. Vent is open. We just cant figure this out and would sure appreciate any help or advice so we can be in the water on the 4th <br /><br />Im a woman so forgive me if I sound dumb when explaining this. P.S. Cursing at it doesnt help lol
