Motor was running fine until I made a prop change on the water. Was tiled up to ear max. Swapped props, then on take off it was starving for fuel. I could choke it, (via enricher) and boat would take off an plane. I could only assume low speed jets could be clogged? This continued and never cleared on its own. Plan on checking all the jets this afternoon, and changing fuel filter.
Did you re-prime the engine via the primer bulb prior to attempting to restart after the prop change?
Not immediately after, but after 2nd attempt I reprimed and still not sifferent
high speed jets or inlets , you may pull those off and not see anything just the movement of carbs may unlock stuck inlet and prob solved

Also make sure you check the fuel line to be sure it's not kinked, crimped or damaged in some way.
