Last season I blew the drvier side engine so I replaced the pistons, installed a carb rebuild kit, and cleaned and installed a RAVE rebuild kit. All parts were bought from SBT.
I took it out last year when it was complete and it ran fine. I didn't winterize the boat this year...I know really dumb of me. When I took it out this year it took a while for both engines to start...I had to keep taking the plugs out and cleaning/drying them off. Once I got them running and up to temp I tried to get up to speed. The passenger engine runs beautifully and starts easily now but I can't get the drivers side engine to go above 4500rpms. Also if I give the drivers engine gas quickly it dies. I usually need to choke it to get it to start.
Before pulling the carbs I wanted to see if anyone had any initial thoughts of what could cause this? That way I can look at specific things as I get in there. One think to note, I couldn't find a specific in line fuel filter replacement for the problem engine so I used a generic.
