Hello, gotta 96 GTX that has a problem....
Just bought it and the guy said that the carbs sound like they needed to be done. Took it out the day I got it and had to feather the throttle to get it going. Took it back out the next day and it wouldn't stay running in the water. When I took it out of the water, it sounded like it was missing.... put it in the water and it stops running.
So I rebuilt the carb which when I took it apart it was filthy and the gaskets where in wrong. Once I put it back together it wouldn't start. It turned over but sounded like it didn't have fire. (replaced sparks and bat. prior).
Took it in yesterday and told him the problems... went back today and he said its fixed... he said he rebuilt the carb again ($160) and that it sounds great... not missing....
Took it back out to the water, ran it threw no wake zone, opened it up and died. I noticed the gas light was on (I know it was full) switch to the reserve and made my way back... got it going again and tried to go back out to try and open it up and burn out anything bad that might be in it. Got out of wake zone and died.... got myself back in by starting it then die and start and die...... pulled it out of water starts up when revved... it still sounds like its missing... but runs way better out of water than in it........
If ya have any ideas why it sounds like it's missing out of the water and dead once its in that would be great.... Thanks
