The inlet screen that is responsible for many hard-to-diagnose high speed fuel starvation issues, often blamed on aliens or 'vapor lock' , check valve looked clean, naturally. this time on an 85 SN. but, bigfoot exists ------------- "There is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worthwhile as messing around with boats...simply messing."

Had you been running Amzoil synthetic in your engine, that inlet screen would not have gunked-up like that. Do you run your boat near Area 51 by chance? JQ ------------- Current 2003 Ski Nautique 206 Limited Previous 2001 Ski Nautique Open Bow 1994 Ski Nautique Open Bow Aqua skiing, ergo sum |

Of course the anti siphon valve is clean, when there's a screen upstream of it to catch all the junk. Probably a 36 year collection of junk
 Same 454 that had wyrz issues a week or so ago? |

Yes. indeed. it wasn't falling on its face yet, amazingly. i just have the tank out now for new exhaust hoses, and determined while its out, took the outlet apart to clean this. Seems an occasional pine needle fragment once a month for 36 years starts to add up to real schmutz ------------- "There is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worthwhile as messing around with boats...simply messing."
