I have a 1990 Ski Nautique. Last year it would almost stall coming off the start and had the accelerator pump changed. Works great this year off the start but every second or third time out in the boat it will really chug at low speeds (10-25 mph).....but it is hit and miss....sometimes it runs great all the time and seems to run well at higher speeds. Any suggestions?

Hi Clove, welcome to CCF. you won't get many responses in the new section, you might move this post (or post another) in the engine repair section it woudl also be great to have some pictures of your boat!...
On the carb issue, it souns like the Accelerator pump may not be adjusted correctly, or you may have some other issues going on. Can you fill us in on why the accelerator pump was changed and if the carb was rebuilt at the same time? Power valves can be another issue, but I need more information to understand which direction to point you in . |

Thanks for responding. I will post in the engine section. Last year when I went to take off pulling a skier or otherwise and pushed the throttle down the engine would just about stall......took it to a dealer and they changed the accelerator pump and also did carb work with a carb kit. This year the take off is great but every few times out it chugs badly at lower speeds. For example, today I took the kids skiing first thing and worked great for about 20 minutes and then all of a sudden while driving at about 20 mph pulling my son wake boarding it started chugging again.....I can push the throttle down and it takes off to high speeds but to mantainat a lower speed it seems like it will stall. Thanks for your help.
