Dizzy has marine tag too. What's the dizzy difference.

They incorporate a spark arrestor rating not unlike the starter motor, the screw down caps eliminate the "clips" and if ventilated, they use a spark arrestor in there too...Not much else different to speak of. (other than the mentioned SAE tag).  ;)

Not to be a dick, but do you know you have a 540? Other than what the previous owner told you. Any motor builder would know that a 750 is obviously the wrong carb for a 540.

I would definately change the fuel lines and filter. Earlier in the year, I changed my carb and lines. It made a huge difference.

A little more information is needed for you guys. When I bought the boat two months ago, it had a Mr. Gasket fuel pump, which I swapped out immediately. Also it had clogged fuel filters which were replaced with Wix fuel Filters. Also, I used 3/8 inch fuel line as replacement hose. Are you saying the 3/8 line is too small of a diameter?



What size Dominator?

#8 or #10 hose will work good for your application. Depending on how many valves, reducers, fittings you have on your lines, it will restrict flow. I had 3/8" fittings with plenty of fittings and it restricted it a lot.

  Matt remember that motor was originally rigged with a tunnel ram and two 750's BTW those baffles are not the best flowing ones they have too be robbing some RPM'S the loader that was originally in the boat when it was setup got swap out  ??? get it back close as possible.

Other than what the PO told me, I have no idea if it's a 540 or not. So unless I tear the motor down and see what is in it, I have to go on his word. BTW< I cannot for the life of me, get a hold of him either. Seems like he dropped off the planet.

Anyway, yes I have replaced the fuel lines from the tank to the carb as well as new Wix fuel filters.
