Hi just recently bought a 1996 malibu response LX
Brought it to a mechanic had him change
fuel pump, spark plus , all gas filters
Im having an issue with it, i run it to wakesurf 5mph-10mph for like 30min to 1 hour , after that i usually turn it off take a swim
no issues then as soon as turn it on i hit 3000rpm to just cruise it will suddenly face-plant (die ) after it dies on me it wont start right away it will take about 3 min for me to wait and then it will start and run like nothing happened.
Usually it happens to me every time i’m on the lake but sometimes it runs great with no issues
Like i said it happens almost every time that i’m on the lake and if it happens once it will happen like 2-3 times then i usually end the day and take it home
it has a 350 magnum EFI/MP MerCruiser fuel injected engine (inboard engine)
