Dies Suddenly while Cruising
89 2000sc with a 5.0 Mercuiser and Quadrajet. Cruising along about 3000 rpm then quits suddenly. No spit or sputter just bow dropping deadness. I had the carb completely gone through by a reputable shop before I launched for the first time this year. They told me I had water in the tank as the carb had a lot of water. I completely drained the tank, new separator, added fuel and took her out. Cruising, cruising, no problems then 5-10 min in it just quits. I found the coil wire was broken so I nursed it to a friends dock and returned with a new wire set. Same problem. In my own uneducated reasoning, I don't think it's fuel. Just for grins, Immediately after dying I operated the accelerator manually and it squirted plenty of fuel. When pulling the coil wire and lying it close to the coil there appears to be plenty of spark. But just smells of ignition to me, not fuel.
Thoughts?
