This afternoon I ran it off a seperate tank of gas and its still surging. I also tried unplugging the idle stabilizer and checked the fuel pump. Still no good. There seems to be a very large amount of oily gas leaking from the carbs when I tilt it up. I realize there should be some leaking from the carbs but when it forms a puddle in the splashwell it seems too much. This was happening before the idle problem appeared but could it be related and what would cause this to happen?

are you sure that you set the float heights correctly on your carbs? Have you checked the fuel pump yet? It really sounds like that could be it.

The floats were perfect. I took the fuel pump off and squeezed the bulb and got no gas out of the back. I even took it apart and checked but everything was good.

maybe you have a coil or spark plug dropping out. you can pull 1 spark plug wire at a time to see if the surging goes away. Is it only at idle that you have this problem?

I didn't take the boat out but it seems to smooth out when I rev it up. When i used the spark checker I didn't notice the spark stopping on any of the cylinders. I'll try pulling off the wires to see what happens today.

I changed the plugs and checked compression today. Its an even 105-110 on all cylinders. Its weird becuase it will idle perfect for a minute and then all of a sudden surge up in rpm's and blow out quite a bit of smoke.

have you had any luck? I've been towing non stop all weekend. Maybe I could take a look at it for you. It would only cost you a couple cold ones
