I cant remember for sure but I think the starting point for your mixture screws is 58 of a turn off the seat for when you put the carbs back together. Try to throttle up and see if it still stalls.

Boat Engine Stalls When Accelerating. If your boat engine continues to stall we still need to cover the blockages issue. Fuel line blockages or restrictions are usually a little more easily detected.
If you have a strong lift pump and primer bulb youll notice that. I have a 30 liter Mercruiser engine that idles fine but stalls upon acceleration. It ran the first time out after winter but then this problem occurred.
It has fresh gas. It has new plugs cap rotor and wires. It doesnt have to be in gear for it to cut out.
Check for clogging fuel lines ethanol will deteriorate fuel hoses maybe a collapsed hose liner where you reattached it over a barb fitting use 2 stroke oil to lube the fitting before attaching the hose any fuel filters either waterfuel or on-engine. Look for small specks in the on-engine fuel filter which may indicate hose deterioration. When diagnosing a car engine with a clogged fuel line you can rev the engine to redline all day long in Neutral or Park but if you take it on the road in 2 or 3 gear Wide Open Throttle the engine will fall flat 2 to 3k RPM and and at.

When your outboard starts right up keeps running with throttle applied in neutral but shuts down the moment you come back to idle speed in neutral the issue is likely to be a sticky or broken AIS automatic idle speed valve.

2 the main jet is clogged it could also be the main jet is too small but sounds like it was previously fine so. Moisture penetration tends to accelerate corrosion of the internal magnetic switch terminals. 2 Bogging on acceleration I call this lean hesitation is caused by lack of fuel and is easily identifiable by the engine falling on its face and suddenly quitting due to running out of fuel.
Outboard engines as with any internal combustion engine require air fuel and spark to maintain adequate combustion throughout the power band. Problems with the delivery of any of these combustion components can cause an engine to stall while under acceleration. If the engine stalls while idling or driving the engine may be running out of fuel.
This could be from not receiving enough fuel pressure to keep it running. The most likely cause of this kind of stalling would be a fuel pump that is not spinning. Went out Sunday and didnt even make it out of the harbour.
Engine started fine revs fine in neutral but once over 3000 revs in gear loses power under load. Has new plugs fuel lines all seem ok just seems it wants to kick on but splutters and drops back. You are having the same issue in the boat.
If yours is holley equipped it very likely is even the power valve. If you have other than a holley and you should it is the accelerator pump that is causing this. When the accelerator pump fails the motor does just that.
It just kind of gets stuck on stupid. Check the gap on all the spark plugs. I notice that my outboard motor tends to stumble or misfire when accelerating under load if the spark plug gap is greater than the specified or recommended spark plug gap.
The coil assemblies of Mercury outboards which are often referred to as the stator are somewhat infamous for being the source of problems. The car is the integration of various machinery and tools. Fault in one part eventually leads to the issue in another part.
Therefore it becomes important to know the reasons for some major problems like- engine bogs down when accelerating. Incorrect amounts of air or fuel will cause the engine to run sporadically or not at all as will a weak or improperly timed spark. A stalling boat engine may or may not give you any warning.
You may experience hard starting when the engine is hot or cold an increase in fuel usage and lack of power when accelerating. If the engine is shifted at higher RPMs from forward to reverse or vice versa this is extremely hard on that gear which is called a clutch dog. When the propeller is spinning at 2000 times per minute and pushing the weight of the boat through the water that creates a.
Took the boat out and upon acceleration climbing past. 3000 rpms the engine bogged and shut off but this time it restarted. Idled around a bit reved up again and at around 3000 rpms it shut.
