Default RE: BJ55 Tuning help needed

Wow, very nice. I have to GPS mine next time out. To me it looks slower than that, but it could be the size throwing it off. My smaller boats look like rockets at 40+ due to their size!

As for your running problem, if everything was good before and all that happened is it flipped, it has to be water in the lines, carb or motor still. I flipped mine and it gurgled along upside down until it sucked water and stalled. Pulled it in, yanked the plug and pulled it a bunch of times to get the water out. Dried the plug with a lighter, put it in and it fired up stalled- pulled plug again to dry it and blow the water out about 2 more times until it started, ran rough for a few seconds and and then ran perfectly from then on- even using the same tank of gas.
