| I know this is obvious and stupid question but did you try draining all the gas and starting with fresh gas. It is mind blowing how much condensate the ethanol draws into your fuel. |

| with todays crappy gas you def have a fuel issue. I wouldn't be suprised if the fuel pump is shot or the carbs. |

I FOUND A BOAT MECHANIC THAT IS FIXING MY JET BOAT. COMPRESSION IS GOOD AND CYLINDERS ALL HAVE SPARK. CLEANING CARBS... HAS TO BE THE ETHANOL PLUGGED EVERYTHING UP. IT WASNT WINTERIZED AND NO STABIL IN FUEL... THANKS FOR ALL WHO POSTED SUGGESTIONS FOR ME. MUCH APPRECIATED.. I WAS ACTUALLY SURPRISED THAT NO ONE OFFERED TO LOOK AT IT. I DIDNT EXPECT IT FOR FREE AND I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THEM..
