Hello all. I finally took my new/used ranger out tonight. I had a horrible time getting her going. She cranks and turns over. She will idle ok. The minute I start giving her gas she dies. This continued for about 30-45 mins. Finally got her going. Ran her for about 30 mins. She feels very jumpy. Give her gas and no response... 7-10 seconds later she jumps. We shut her down and tried to start her again and the same thing happened again. Very difficult to get her going. Before buying the boat I had a mechanic come and check everything. Compressions checked out. fluids looked good. She started up (w/ muffs) and ran well. So what gives??? I changed the spark plugs (as directed). I think it could be the fuel line, throttle, or vro. Any of those fit the symptoms??? I think fuel line b/c "ball pump" never stays hard. Please give me ideas. I am very frustrated being that this a first bass boat for me.

While he's at it have him throw a rebuild kit on the Vapor Separator tank too on a few dollars more.
