Add a fuel pressure gauge inline with the fuel line. 7 psi at wide open throttle, maybe 6 psi. Anything less you need more fuel pump. A ford truck pump should be plenty.

3410, sounds like that's a truck carb. Might need to be set-up for a jet boat application. Enough primary jet, secondary metering plate or jets, and the right vacuum secondary diaphragm spring.

That's all I got.

If Glenn ever shows up, and tells ya different, listen to Glenn
