Hi Matt, glad to see you here as well. The boat is actually at a place for a new cover. I take it back next monday. Then, I need to change engine and transmission oil, filters, polish hull, and put it in water. Maybe half of next week. Then it's begining of wakeboarding this beast.
I will take photos and videos of our tricks.
Stay tuned ;)

You were right guys, today I start the engine. No problem of temperature, when the thermostat opens, water enters engine. It runs just perfect at idle, but impossible to rise RPM !!! I tried with Choke and disconnected choke, nothing to do.
But I'm afraid to open the carburetor. The risk is to never start again ... I try to find litterature on it.
Also, idle is arround 600rpm, the alternator does not charge the battery. But I remember on the friend's X35, no charge at idle, it needed to be arround 1000rpm to start charging. So, I will wait that the engine runs perfectly before deciding to change the alternator.

Idle should be around 850-900. Go ahead and get a carb rebuild kit. It's easier than it looks and you'll eliminate a lot of possibilities by rebuilding it now.
-
Yes I start to look if I can get a rebuild kit directly in France (because of delay and cost of shipping). But I'm more afraid about retune it after changing parts. As I will clean and remove every srew, I think a retune will be necessary. That procedure if for me the big problem.
I keep you in touch. As it's raining and it will all the week, I can't start it again till next week. I would like to make a movie and share it before doing mistakes.

Holly carbs are probably the easyest ones on the planet to rebuild.
If it idleing ok but will not go past that you excelerator pump is probly bad.
Its under the front fuel bowl straight down from where the fuel line goes in.

Hey guys,
On the carb (on the choke plate's body) I can read this reference : "LIST-80262".

I find this : http://www.jegs.com/i/Holley/510/703-28/10002/-1
Is it what I need ?

Looks like the right one to me.

Ok thanks. I find it at a local dealer, I get it tomorrow or friday :)

I rebuilt the carb. It's not so complicated and there are not that much tuning to do on it. But it was still running bad. So I did something elementary (I was so stupid to don't start frome here), I remove spark plugs to check. They were full of oil and dirty. I clean each. Now it runs near perfect, maybe a little accelerator pump tune, but I will do it on water.
It's alive !

Told you hollys are pretty basic.
Glad you got it going
