Looking for any ideas on an issue I've had for a couple weeks I've got a 2006 Larson with a 350 mag mpi problem is at 2500-3500 rpms the motor will missfire but below or above that range runs fine and now if I'm trolling around for a while at lower rpm the engine will stall some times and it starts hard and get a strong raw fuel smell but after it starts it'll run fine for a couple hours then do it again
list of things ive replaced in the last week
plugs
wires
fuel filter
pumped the tank dry of fuel and added new fuel 87 nonethonal with sea foam
changed iac valve
cleaned throttle body and flame arrestor
changed out fuel pump relay it was getting hot to the touch
if anyone's got any ideas it would be great I'm gonna go nuts trying to figure this out thanks

2006 was a paint chip problem year for the Cool Fuel 3. Have a look at your pressure regulator on the CF3 unit, chips will collect there and boost your fuel pressure

Look on ebay. Paid close to 500 for mine with only 1 adapter, quite a while back.

well thanks for the help guys prob solved found out my fuel pump was plugged within sand and mud wasn't allowing water to pass through around it to keep it cool and my miss fire at mid rpm range was do to a worn distributor gear hopefully helps anyone with anyone with same types of problems
