Owner of an 87 Pirata. Overall the boat has been great, until this year. A number of issues have kept us off the water most of the summer and I think I have solved all issues until this new one popped up.
Boat fires right up, runs great for 15-20 minutes. We usually at this point set up to ski/board etc and at this point I can few it start to bog, caugh, miss and eventually stall out. I can usually get it started again but it acts like it is running really rich and again chokes itself out.
If I let it sit for 30 minutes it starts right back up like there wasn’t an issue.
PCM 454, crab rebuilt last year, new fuel lines, thermostat, water pump impeller, this year, distributor two years ago.
Any ideas would be very appreciated heading into our last week of summer here in northern Michigan.
