when the engine is running in gear (3000 rpms running on plane), it backfires periodically. It runs poorly but functional, but we noticed a fuel odor. When I opened the carb.cover after running, I noticed a small fuel pool on the intake manifold, I assume is fuel pooling from the backfiring. The boat idles fine and runs in neutral fine (tested briefly up to 2800 rpms). When I got home, took the fuel filter off, fuel looked excellent no water. I also removed the fuel filter screen on the carb and it looked clean.
