I have a 94 ebbtide with a 4.3 liter v6 alpha one motor. It was left at a house we recently bought thru a bankrupcy. We had to buy a bottom end for it but other than that it runs great. What I want to know is how much time should this thing run on one tank of gas? We filled it up and as soon as it got off the full mark you can literally watch the fuel gauge move as you run it. Not sure how much fuel was in it but we filled it up and it took 16 gallons so I think it is a 19 gallon tank. Ran it for about 2 hours and already out of gas. I am replacing plugs and stuff now for better fuel economy I hope. The boat sat for over a year before we got it.
One other thing it does do is when it gets down to about 3 or 4 galons in the tank it will not run except at idle or very low speed. As soon as I tried to get up speed to plane out it just sputters and dies. Is this normal?
