so basically after my wonderful fuel filter breakdown i decided to pull the carb apart clean and rebuild. I have never really had a strong boat like others. It had a hick up right out of the hole. so it never was strong. I have rode behind other boats and they can pull arms off people when pulling skiers. pulling the carb apart i replaced the power valve and made sure both floats where parallel to the housing when held upside down. injectors cleaned, but i am still having isssues. I don't have the hick up anymore but it is slugish out of the hole. from 20mphs and up it is strong, but it is slugish from 0-10 or so. Its not bad just i know the boat can do more and i can't figure it out for the life of me..
any help would be great.. Tommy |

Have you adjusted the accelerator pump? Does it start a nice spray even between both barrels as soon as the throttle is touched? ------------- 78 martinique- refloored, reinforced, stringers re glassed, re engineered interior GT40P heads Edelbrock Performer intake acme 4 blade http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/horkn/fish/nautique.jpg |

Accelerator pump stroke nor cam need adjustment if Holley parts are used.This is a DFW screw..........
What power valve did you install? New PCM 4160 Holley carbs come with a 2.5 All kits bought from PCM come with the same Probably not the PV that you installed,6.5 or 7.5 possibly Do a plug check, easy way to observe fuel mixture. Black is not GOOD Chocolate Brown = correct Blistered or very clean= too lean ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

Have you pulled a plug or two for a visual check ?These readings can tell you a lot about your motor and its condition internally....
Slow cam timing,i.e.timing chain wear, will give some of the same symptoms you describe. ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

That is correct for points type ignition.
Electronic ignition with a good coil will allow a wider gap....... ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |
