engine cuts off

replaced steering cable fixed. Replaced protech and new GT40 heads runs great. Thanks for the help your advice is always appreciated.

Thanks for your help, I believe i might have to adjust the float. The bowl was off a old carb that was in the shop. Your input has always proven to be very helpful and appreciated. There was not a screen on the carbs inlet. The boat ran great until they changed the bowl. I will check the anti syphon valve, and the fuel water separator.

I don't panic when I hear about lifter noise. Consider just runing it and solving your fuel delivery issue. You have soem carb tuning to do and some boogars in your antisyphon valve on the tank outlet inhibiting fuel volume available at WOT.

Agreed. Definitely check the anti-syphon valve.
You said you replaced the fuel bowl. You could have the float adjusted way too low.
Have you changed the fuel filter/water seperater? If that's boogered up (Tom's lingo) it can cause big problems too.
Is there a filter screen at the carb's fuel inlet? That could be really gunked up. OOPS, I mean boogered up.

Your fuel pump is not a problem. It either works or it doesn't.

Their is a grease fitting in they very back of boat above the rudder.Not the gear box just a union. This happened MM day weekend. They sticking valve was a problem when I bought the boat I sea foamed it hoping to buy time, short time anyway. To get it in tip top working order.1 get rid of pro tech. 2 Replace with GT 40 heads easy upgrade. 3 Fix steering 4 Fuel prob could be weak pump or could be sucking air note no tef tape used on threads. The boat has 1056 hrs

Bought the 93 HO in jan 2013. It has been alittle irritable. First problem the previous owner had stripped out fuel bowl threads to the gas line. It came loose while running. Replaced the fuel bowl. It now seems to be starving for fuel. It cuts out, if you are quick and pump the fuel it picks back up. Around 40 mph it will cut off. No fuel leaks thinking pump might be weak?? Runs strong when getting fuel. Really acts up when accelerating then runs great until around forty. Is there one or two fuel pumps(lifter pump??)The protect is acting up also so I bought the conversion kit. Also have a sticky valve so I have GT 40 heads. It also developed a steering issue there is a berr in the last turn right or left. I greased the gear box above the rudder. It made it better but not gone. Got a new steering cable. The box took alot of grease. Thinking of replacing it to. The marina that I keep it at is swamped. I am thinking about doing it myself sence we have the time while my wife is recovering. I am a ok mechanic. Never rebuild a motor though mainly pull off and put back( motors, transmissions, ect) Though there are several problems they seem minor and a got a good deal on the boat. Any suggestions????
