Hello, I have a 1993 Horizen with a 5 lt Merc Cruiser. Headed home the other day after a great day of skiing and tubbing with the kids. As I tried to come up to speed the Engine started to cut out at around 2000 to 2500 rpm's. I read through tons of other threads and found some similiar problems, many relating to fuel issues. I replaced the fuel filter but still no luck. I'm no mechanic but did the ussual things, checked oil level, loose wiring ect... Any idias

Thanks

I am assuming you didn't get an aubible alarm so your oil pressure and water temp was OK.

The 5.0 ltr motors are carburated and there is a little filter inside the carb base where the fuel line connects. Also while you have this disconnected turn over the motor (remove coil wire) with the disconnected fuel line in a plastic bottle to check your fuel pump (make sure it's pumping) There is also a check valve of some sorts that is located close to the tank the may be bad. Simply remove it for testing purpose and then get a new one if it's the cause.

Keep us posted.
