Nope... it's better but still won't go over 5,300 and bogs down when trying to plane. In the marina it still feels good when stabbing the throttle so I think there's still a fuel starvation issue. ...

Well... Off the trailer it felt great in the marina, loads of low-end grunt, torque and throttle response. As soon as we were out the pierheads I floored it, it bogged really badly, struggled to...

Well the middle carb wasn't getting any fuel... The float was stuck down which I thought was odd. Turns out the little brass bit that the needle valve sits in (sorry I don't know if I'm using the...

Yeah Jim I definitely blocked off that pipe. Will tear down the carbs tomorrow and report back :up: only 2 out of 3 carbs working properly would explain my symptoms though I reckon. If a float is...

Nah I haven't changed them but they only have an hour on them at the most. The fact it ran faultlessly to 6200 before the 'issues' with the 40a stator surely mean it's somewhere in the ignition...
