72 Marauder cutting out.
I have a new fuel line, filter, and tank, and I just replaced the gasket on the accelerator pump because it was leaking really bad. The boat then ran great for about two weeks of using daily and know it is hesitating at about 1600 rpm's after about 3 or four hundred yards. It idles great and starts right up.
I read some posts about the accelerator pump, if I had to guess I would say that it needs adjusted, but how do I adjust it?
Thanks

Probably a stuck float, your carb need rebuilt. That's why it runs great at first until you open her up and need more gas, the bowl runs low on gas and float is sticking to keep it from fillin up. That's IMO, if all the other items you checked were fine, did you try o empty anything out of the fuel filter you changed?
I just cleaned out the gas tank of my '70 Mustang, removed the rust exposed bare metal and used POR-15's coatings to refinish the inside of the tank. If you ever need to recoat the inside of a steel gas tank check em out, about $60 versus $200 or more for a new tank, then all the mounting hardware and fittings and sending units you could be over 300 easy. (http://www.por15store.com/POR-15-Tank-Sealer-Instructions.html) Those old tanks will get so much rust filters, lines and carb will clog quickly, especially if you don't always park it with a full tank of gas.

Thanks for the advice. I got the boat out of the barn to fix it I was excited to find the problem was the gas line was kinked where it comes into the fuel pump. So a couple of zip ties and the problem was fixed.
