I was out last weekend on my 19ft Cobra with a 93 120 Force. The engine was runnign great for the first hour or 2. Started fine, ran smooth, it even ran a little on the fast side! <br />However, about 1-2 hours into boating, I lost power, like something got wrapped around the prop. The engine was shaking and I limoed home. There was also a lot of smoke (Gas smell, not burning) coming out of the exhaust ports (much more than usual) When I got back to port, there was A LOT of gas all over the in side of my engine. The bottom carb cover was full of gas.<br />I gave the carbs a thorough cleaning about 2 months ago, but did not soak or rebuild them. <br />Any suggestions? <br />Anyone think it could be a cylinder?<br />Thanks for any help.
<br />I think the fuel system is fine. I checked it over when I got back, and nothing seemed to be broken, leaking, or disconnected.<br />I am wondering if you or anyone else has had this type of problem. I know this could mean the carbs are ready for a rebuild,, but could it also mean a blown cylinder? Would it discharge a lot of gas?
