    ok guys i need some help today i went to the lake to go out and play alittle, well the boat had other ideas. boat started great idled out of the no wake zone and started to hit the gas and she just died. would not restart. i did get it to backfire out of the carb but that is about it. i have not changed anything since the last time out where it ran the best it ever had. any ideas?

    Better check to make sure your oil pump turns freely.

    Hey oldsquirt. Funny you should say that. My dad had a motor home with a 460 in it and it did the same thing on the way home from georgia one year..
