I installed a new fuel line, primer bulb and upper fuel filter - and since then I haven't been able to get the boat to plane - I took out the upper fuel filer and the small rubber O-ring was stretched out of shape. When I am on the water in full throttle it sounds as if the engine is flooded - I installed a new fuel filter today - taking care not to stretch the rubber o-ring. I will get it on the water this evening and see if it will plane.

I will post a number of short videos - appreciate your assistance on this ... thanks!

Please see below picture of the old fuel filter - the O-ring has returned to it's normal size and the filter looks like I tightened it too much - I read the manual and it says that the cover should only be hand tightened - which is what I did with the new fuel filter.
