this thread has been going for 2.5wks and from what I can tell no movement yet, you should take Nav up on his offer

I don't know if this helps but on my old mud buddy It would try to die at wot. I would have to let off and idle for a couple minutes and take back off. At idle it ran really bad for a short bit then go fine. I replaced everything fule related and even new carb. After a couple months I came across a thread about to much oil. Come to find out I some how got the wrong dip stick and I had too much oil. About half a quart to 3/4. Drained it and got a new stick and it hasn't missed a beat. The guy I sold it to is still running it.
This probably isn't your problem but it might help someone.

Had new fuel line installed last year, Sierra marine cost guard approved, from what I was told, it basically lasts forever.

You can always just use the trolling motor.

I require a month test ride after fixing all 4wheelers and boats

If you can talk Guy into it, I am going to College Station to visit my daughter this weekend, I will offer to pull his boat down there and drop it off at your house on the way. He can make arrangements to pick it up in a month if he wants.

Sounds like that motorcycle you tried to rebuild way back

I wonder if anyone has mentioned to Guy yet that he needs to clean the carb?

Kinda like the Truman Show ain't it

4 wheeler seems to be coming around a bit.

I still have not cleaned my carb.

This past weekend I was out west dove hunting, weekend before I scouted lake X and ran about 4 gal of gas thru it treated with that "mechanic in a bottle", and it still will not idle on its own. So looks like I might have to break down and pull that carb off and clean it.

Other than it not idling, it runs great. I have been more focused on getting my lowrance GPS working. It just stopped working, so I took back to BPS, they plug it in and it worked fine, must be my wiring, so checked fuse was fine, connections looked fine, but I re-did that (soldered this time), still did not work. So went and bought a $35 electrical tester, stuck probe in end of plug, and it is getting power, 12.7 volts. Talked to BPS again, they said they had another customer come in, same issue. Power coming out end of plug, but for some reason not connecting with GPS. So trying to get lowrance to replace the cable ($35 if I have to buy it), it is 1 month out of warranty, I'm gonna be pissed if they do not replace it. Sent info to them today, need to give them 24 hrs to review, calling them tomorrow.

My 4 wheeler now has a flat. Half way out into a field and notice the steering is off. Figured it was just low and made it back no problem. Got to house and decide to put some air in it and hear hissing. Somehow I managed to load it on the trailer with the hole right on top. Looks like one of the plugs gave out with the low pressure. GF is bringing a plug kit home.

Actually I ran 3 gal. Scouted again today, after 1 more gal she started runnng much better, ran couple more gal of that stuff, now she is purr'n like a kitten.

Where's the video?

There was actually three holes. Mesquite or barbed-wire. Fixed her up, took her out the next day and it was low by the time we left. Aired up again and haven't had a problem.
