    Didnt Dave have your carbs B/P? I would call Dave and ask him what he thinks first.That little 555 isnt making the power the smaller combos are making. What is your compression? Not trying to burst your bubble or stir any chit, Just wondering. I see alot of DNE motors running alot more HP with less inchs.

    My little 548 will make more than 850 HP on pump gas and 10.2:1

    Ive seen your boat cruisin in needles,nice looking ride.

    Good info above though, get that regulator turned down and check the float levels. Set them up as if the boat was on a WOT pass to get the attitude where it rides and set them.

    As for it not starting after siting, you might want to check your tank vents and make sure they are working. With the heat out there it will exspand the fuel and force the fuel right past the floats and it wont want to start, but for the most part, it sounds like you have some carb Issues. I would for sure call Dave and ask him what he thinks.
