I'm not a mechanic at all, but I brought my boat in to have it serviced and mechanic couldn't fix it. Getting a second opinion in a couple of days and hopefully they can fix it, but I'm hoping to point them in the right direction with your help.
The issue is that I have no hole shot. It idles fine, and if I slowly throttle up to top speed it works no problem, but if I punch it to pull up a wake boarder, it just stumbles and I have to pull it back to idle to save it. Doesn't matter if I have a wake boarder or not, if I try to punch it, it stumbles/chokes or floods.. seems fuel related. Last year my mechanic replaced the fuel pump because it wouldn't start last year. I told him about the hole shot issue and he thought it was a carb issue, so this spring he put a carb kit in but didn't make any difference. He also replaced the distributor cap and it made no difference. He also tried a new fuel pump in case the replacement was bad. I read something that there is a high pressure and low pressure fuel pump? Maybe he replaced the high, but the low pressure is the issue? He used a different fuel source and it made no difference.
I have kids that want to go skiing, please help. Thanks in advance!
