Do you have the round “bullet” style or rectangle style?

Imco is known for marine tanks.
I’m sure you could go to any fabricator and they can make a set if you can’t find the size you need.

They’re rectangular style 48LX10T and the width is a V top7” tapering down to5”
I’ll definitely check them out

Is it the tanks coming part and clogging the filters?

Saddle tanks come up pretty often on here. I'm not sure what kind you have. If they are some sort of rectangle shape, you can have them fabricated to fit the hull.

Yes
I replaced the filter last week took it out to Elsinore and ran fine all day
Then yesterday took that run up river and the bottom of the filter had about 1/4 of junk in it When it started acting up
After pulling the tank and getting the rest of the fuel drained it was a murky rust color and the tanks themselves are pretty bad

Do you have the built in fiberglass tanks? If so, those are known to start coming apart and should be replaced.

Now just gotta find out where to find a replacement

Chokes out while WOT as soon as I back off a bit it evens back out and runs fine I rebuilt the carb yesterday and checked for leaks around the intake with some carb cleaner while it was running to see if any leaks were detectable but no change in rpm
The carb was pretty dirty so I’ll slap that back in today and shoot down to the lake and see if that helped

Having some issues with my olds when at full throttle it seems like it’s starving for fuel it cruises fine but about 10 seconds after WOT it starts to choke and can’t figure out why everything seems to be working fine that I can think of maybe just a second opinion on what to look for would be greatly appreciated
