I have a feeling that thats what it is when im docking. Its gota be the low speed idle. Also before i jump into a 400 pump, i am not sure its that. If it was that when it started to die around 5000-4800, i prime the fuel ball and it makes NO diffrence. If it was the pump i belive it would get better???

I would say you're correct on that one. cutting out at high speed could very well be electrical. if it was high vaccum then you would get an alarm. I don't remember for sure but I think the idle setting on that motor is 4-5 turns out from lightly seated. might want to check on that though. they had so many different setups on those motors from year to year. when you cleaned the carbs did you remove the jets and throughly clean them out? also check the o-rings behind the carbs to see if one of them was crushed or torn.
