But, it is a Runslikecrap. for now.
And yes, the secondary fuel source is a very viable troubleshooting technique, as long as it can deliver the volume required for a short period, safely. |

Skidim agreed that the fuel pressure was low. But they also brought up whether or not the secondary diaphragm was working correctly. Possibility?

You've come an aweful long way with that boat Michael and you're just around the corner from getting it running the way it should. Hang tough and make sure you're having fun and learning along the way.

I don't think so, just the primaries should be good for 3600 to 3800 rpm. |

It has driven me crazy! Removing all the stickers and the rest of the junk all over the place has put me over the edge on Mastercraft. They are nice, just not spread all over a Correct Craft!

Yeah, the secondaries not working properly won't create an issue like you are describing. An alternate fuel source will let you know if it is from the tank to the pump. If your gauge is accurate, yes, your fuel pump is needing replacement or rebuilding. Just putting a new fuel pump in my CC made it run a lot better. I was getting around 4-4.5 psi tops before the new pump, and afterward I am getting 7 psi. BTW, nice job on the boat so far. |

That is looking really sharp! Great job!
I can't tell from the picture but it looks like you have single hose clamps on the exhaust. Make sure you double those up! One comes off and water will fill that boat faster than you can shake a leg at! |

You have done wonders on that boat. That boat was left for the dead, and you brought her too full life. Great job! Excellent looking boat there..

I just can't hold my tongue any longer.
I think you really screwed-up, by not putting that much effort in the old Ski Tique. AT |

To each his own. I wanted a better wake, which I got. I wanted a classic, which I got. The boat didn't go to the junkyard, it went to a boat restorer that will bring it back. Do you think I could restore something I didn't have a passion for? I liked this old boat and I wanted to focus my time and funds on making it what I want and nice.
Anyways, Got the carb back together. You were right about the O-rings, I gave it a go and I had gas dripping out of the transfer tube. We'll see how the float adjustment goes when I get some rings. I also ordered a fuel pump since mine tested at 4psi. May not be the solution to my surging problem, but it needed replacing. I got an accelerator pump as well, figure I might as well get a fresh one in there to eliminate the possibility of it screwing with things. |

I might have the two O-rings.
I'll check. If I do I'll just send them to ya. AT A bad Ballast Resistor can cause some really weird symptoms. |

Michael, Yes, you are right about the "to each his own"
When I did a Diary search for a 1982 thru 1984 Ski Tique, yours was the only one. AT |

get the fuel pump installed then re-adjust all the carb settings and your issue should be gone.
