EPIC MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND @ UTE.    Saw the sickest jet boat throwing a mind blowing roostertail that just engulfed the entire cove with "lake mist". It was turbo charged, and topped 101 mph on less than admirable water.  i wish i had a picture of it.


Is this the Ute Lake in New Mexico?



YES!... it was SIIICK!

what if i converted over to an electric fuel pump??? is this a possibility? just a thought.
If you do that you definitely need a regulator.

Unless you put a Holley red.  No need for a regulator with that one.

You need to put a gauge on it first and see what is happening.  If the problem is not the pump you will still have the problem after you change the pump.  Get a gauge on it and see what is happening before you start throwing parts at it again.

Look at a Mallory Comp 110 or Comp 140 Marine pump set up. Very quite and much more efficient than the Holly pumps. Should be able to find em from Summit. You may want to consider a good cartridge type filter as well.

I had a lot of good times on that lake. I lived in Clovis from 1974-1984 (just out of High School) and spent most of my spare time there but that was before they raised the level like it is now. I still know many people that go there and I have been back a couple of times since then but I didn't even recognize it. I hear they are running pipelines into it now and will probably be pumping out a lot of the water again. It is a pretty cool little lake though.

Yeah i wouldnt consider it "little", the lakes i grew up on were a mile long at best, and 20-30 ft deep.  Ute is 14 miles long, and 88 ft deep... lol  but, its the closest boatable water to my house. lol

i saw someone mention hooking up the fuel return to the tank, where would i hook this up at? there arent any more places to run hoses.

i think its defenetly somthing wrong BEFORE the pump, since 2 working mechanical pumps have yielded the same result.  ill get motivated sometime today to got take it all apart and see whats up.

LOL. Yeah, I used to think it was huge until I went back after spending so much time on the lakes in the south/central area of Texas. I agree though, it is defiantly the best lake in your area.

check my post, 


carbed motor does not need a fuel return

awesome i didnt see that, thanks.... im almost positve that im going to take the fuel pickup apart and see that its just not acceptable.  that is the only thing that makes sence to me. seeing as how everything else has been changed... and the take does look aged... almost has to be the culprit.

that and the vent... i dont like how the vent is currently set up.

Some carbed motors may not need a regulator, whether it needs a regulator depends on the fuel pump being used.


i was talking about a return line like if it was fuel injected...  trying to keep it simple for this young man,  that is working the kinks out of his boat....  carry on....

I agree.  Wouldn't the simplest step be to put a gauge on the fuel system and see if the pressure is actually dropping off?  think.gif
