I haven't had the boat out in about a year, but the last time I had it out it would stall or nearly stall just about every time I tried to accelerate. It seemed to idle fine.<br /><br />I pulled the cap off of it today and I noticed that when I pulled out the choke gas would pour out of the top of the carb. I got it started and it accelerated fine. I'm considering taking it out but I'm afraid it will stall when accelerating as it did last year.<br /><br />Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If the carb is dumping fuel..it needs to be fixed prior to taking out on the water.<br /><br />Remove and rebuild the carb.<br /><br />TMD
