dies after given gas
I have a 1976 Cobia with the omc straight six. I repalced the plugs, fixed the fuel line at the tank that was worn, I got the motor running, but when i give it gas it dies unless i really ease into the throttle then it will run the rpm's up.
What could be the problem? Thanks Brad |

What could be the problem? Thanks Brad Based on my experience and what I've observed, I'd say your accelerator pump is bad. But, I've also had a bad coil act up when I applied the throttle. |

That would be a good thing to try if he has a spare one kicking around. Also a wet distributor cap. |
