Ok Merc issues

Ok BS came by today and just left. We found that one ck vale in the fuel pump was sticking so we changed it out, seems fine now.
There was no metal shavings of any kind on the pump screen so i guess they never got by the Racor.

We had a hose getting kinked some when the linkage was at wot and we fixed that also. We drained the bowls but did not do the test you said as I did not read this before hand.

Plugs are pretty dirty and replaced. The motor starts like a dream and idles fine!! BS felt the water and said I am good to go! I still hate how hot it is but everyone says its good then it must be!

When we had the carbs off before we cleaned the crap out of them and set the floats, and reinstalled, and since tere was nothing on the pump screen I am sure they are still that way, At least I hope so??

We really don't think its a fuel issue at this point?? But I have not put the boat in the water yet to see if anything we did today helps??
I will try to get out tomorrow to test it and see, I will also try your test to see if it is something there. When I came down to plane before it would clear up and when I gave it gas it would started immediately again.
But waited to start for a mile or so when it would first show up.

I am hoping it was something we fixed today?
