88 spl continuing fuel problems

[coosarunner]

Well,<br />I've changed fuel line and bulb. Pulled off vent hose and its clear. The boat still stalls after running about 10 mi or so . Just stops,vapor lock. Fuel bulb is flat but you can hear it pulling gas. Starts up after the bulb fills and runs fine for a short time but dies over and over. Only does it after running for a while though. I don't have a clue.

Re: 88 spl continuing fuel problems

have you cleaned and rebuilt the carbs and fuel pumps? I'd bet its in either of those...

coosa,<br /><br />There is an anti siphon valve in your fuel tank (assuming it's built in).<br /><br />The anti siphon valve is located at (or part of) the tank outlet.<br /><br />Remove the tank outlet and see if the valve is free. You can bypass it for testing-only.

How much would I be looking at to get the carbs rebuilt? Is the anti-syphon valve in the input hose?

Coosa,<br /><br />The anti sihon valve is usually part of the outlet of the fuel tank-if it is a built in tank.<br /><br />You should be able to easily uncrew it from the fuel tank and inspect it.<br /><br />Just guessing, I would say a carb. rebuild is about four hours labor plus parts. However, I don't think that is your problem.
