This is a new (50 year old) boat to me and am rapidly learning all about the Atomic 4. Thanks everyone for this wonderful site to help me along. Since I purchased my h-28 6 months ago I have had a common problem of the engine dying on me in the fuel related sort of way after 40 minutes or so.
I have clean fuel with the both fuel filters.
My mechanical fuel pump works fine.
No known fuel or air leaks.
Spark at the coil and plugs.
I just rebuilt the carb and installed the indigo crankcase ventilation kit.
After rebuilding the carb and a little difficulty getting it started it ran like never before. purred like a kitten had great throttle response and more power than ever. Then like before after 40 minutes of motoring it bogged down and eventually died. Usually I could just shift to neutral and let it run for a bit and continue motoring but this time I had to get towed. Now she wont start at all. I pulled the carb and everything checked out. Good clean fuel and spark. You could probably guess where my love and hate relationship is right now. Anything ells I should look for.
Thanks
Chad
