So my main question. Distributor and carb setup up on a bbf 460 with no motor upgrades that im aware of. Dependability over performance

Do you have good fuel pressure? Is there fuel in the bowls when you go to start it?Yes. And when i pull the throttle i see the squirt of fuel. After it died it sounded like it wanted to start but just didnt want to. I thought it was a fuel issue but i can hear the pump , the filter was full.

Is it vapor locking? Have un done the fuel cap when it has died?No i didnt have tools on the boat when it all went down. Then we still made the best of a lake day without the boat. Came home and parked it cause it was time for dinner.

What YouTube mods did you perform on the carb?
Which distributor do you currently have? If an older points type, maybe it is time for an upgrade. Don't just replace parts for the sake of replacing parts. You should decide if you are going to replace your distributor before you replace cap, rotor, or wires for compatibility.
Start with the stuff that doesn't cost anything, then cheapest, and work towards most expensive.
Take appropriate steps to ensure your plugs are new or are in good condition and gapped properly.
Inspect all of your plug wires for damage and resistance. Replace if necessary.
Inspect your cap and rotor and replace if necessary.
There are a lot of videos on YouTube that can show you how to test your coil and enter ignition system.
Reliability comes from ensuring your components are in good working order before you get on the water.

Have you checked the plugs?The secondary on the carb only works when the rpms reach a certain point and are controlled by a vacuum line. Being that i couldn't get the rpms passed 4000 this video i watched of some dude bended the metal hook so it forces the secondary to open at about 3/4 throttle. In my opinion it worked cause it would easily rez to 5000 at home and seemed like i couldve done it on the water easily but the wife and kids weren't diggin it. This run was my best run since owning the boat. Until whatever happened happened. Im only getting what sounds like the beginning of it wanting to start with backfire from the carb. Ill definitely be getting new plugs they arent looking great and wires. The dizzy has no name that i can see. Ill be openning it later today. Thank you for your response

Also, i would just plug the vacuum can, and time it without it.
Good luck

Thats a good start but if the problem gets worse as the day goes on, it could be the coil heating up and causing problems. I would check that next if these 2 dont help it.Thank you.

Have to be heading in the right direction because your old one was pretty beat up and corroded looking.
