We bought a '97 GTX used in July. It was running funny when we bought it (and by funny I mean it seemed to hesitate when you tried to accelerate and would then kick in), but we thought it was due to a batch of bad oil.
About 2 weeks after we bought the thing I had it out on the lake and it just stopped dead. Wouldn't restart, nothing. Had a boat come along to tow me in.
I got on here and did a little research and decided to pull the carbs. I did and the internal filters were clogged, so I did a rebuild. Replaced the carbs and now when I throttle out of water it well rev to about 3,000 RPMs and cut out if you take your hand off of the throttle. It also smokes A LOT!
In the water it will go to about 1,500 RPM and won't throttle at all. can someone please tell me what is wrong and if possible how to fix it. I am more than happy to provide more details if necessary.
