Took the boat out this past weekend and motor was running perfect for awhile then all of a sudden while running full throttle it slowed it self down and wouldn’t go past a certain speed the whole time, shut off at idle, and wouldn’t want to start. Now it started up fine today out of water, so now I’m confused. Both cylinders have 125 PSI (Checked Today), Motor has new Spark Plugs, Ignition Coils, Cleaned Carbs and Fuel Pump. What do yall think it could be? Since got the boat motor seemed to be starving for gas but have tried a lot of things to fix it, only thing haven’t is take it in to a shop which id rather not.

check venting ...try hand pumping fuel in case fuel flow is impaired check fuel pick-up. does PH get HOT !!! check water flow is water to hot !!

recheck for sparks when it does not restart after idle shut down.

did you clean out the drip chamber under the welch plug when you did the carb...starting pulls fuel from the top LS circuit.
