Hey whats going on, any and all help would be greatly appreciated. So i bought a boat a few days ago,1976 eliminator ford 460 berkly pump. It runs fine on land both idle and trottled up with h2o hooked up. I to it to the lake today to see how it would run in some real water. It starts just fine, idles fine, but then when i go to give it gas it sputters and then dies. I did mess around mostly trottling it a bit and it kind of became a little more responsive but ultimately died. I have bought new fuel lines and fuel filter, have yet to install them. The gas oil and filter are brand new, the boat has not been run for 4yrs. I am thinking that maybe I need to change the plugs and wires and maybe the carb as well or at least clean the crap out of it. I will be chaning the fuel lines and filter friday. Any ideas.
Thanks
