I have the same problem with my '94. I need to put it in neutral and give it gas to start it. I also had to set the idle mixture screw high to keep it running. Now I get yelled at for going too fast in no wake zones. It shouldn't be like that. I even changed out the carb. Any ideas other than vapor lock or battery? they have been ruled out....

I had the problem once and one of the contributing factors was that the battery did not have enough Cold cranking amps to really turn it over fast enough. You need a 675 or better CCA battery. Look on the skidim.com discussion board and you will see many with this problem and lots of good advice other than the battery.

Sounds like it could be vapor lock? Is there a vent to the gas tank on this boat? Have you tried opening your gas tank cap? Try this after it is warm - if you hear a 'whoosh' of air when you open it, it could be a contributing problem.

i have a 96' ski natique with the 5.8 gt-40 engine. i've been having problems with the engine starting after it is warm. sometimes it will start up if i give it some gas in nuetral and other times i have to wait five minutes before it will start. other times it wont start at all. i have tried changing the low pressure fuel pump but that didnt work.
