Being that you are so smart and educated almost beyond belief, maybe you can help me out with something. We have this boat at the shop that runs well at idle, and revs up just fine. However, when we put it under a load, the engine seems to bust up and run rather rough. Let me know what to look for, this thing has ran me crazy. Thanks in advance for your time. I am sure what you tell me will correct the problem. You are never wrong.

..but I didn't say I know everything. I said what I say is accurate. I would think that even you could realize the difference. I am not a mechanic, but apparently, neither are you, so I will not even venture a guess. Well what the heck I will GUESS. High speed carburator jets are clogged or possibly fuel system sucking air. Remember these are just guesses and I hope that SOMEBODY at your shop has thought to check these things. If not I will come work as shop superintendent.....LMAO.
And BTW- never claimed to be educated "beyond beleif", just intelligent and enough of a realist to see things as they are.

At idle, there is high vaccum under the carb. Everything will run well if it can. As you open the throttle, the manifold vacuum drops and lots of things can go wrong. I had a jet boat for a day with that problem. Turns out that to get the 460 Ford engine into the boat he had to make a new gas tank by hand from scratch.
The tank had a loose screw floating around in it and on rare occucations it would get sucked into the gas line point first up the the screw head, the engine would lose power and the screw would float back to the bottom of the tank.
He had to take it completly apart until he came to the tank.
