96 GSX Bogging Down and Surging @ Full Throttle

[goconfigure]

Just picked up a 1996 GSX and took it out on the lake today for the 4th or so time in two weeks and noticed a small problem when at full throttle. It now bogs and surges a little. I can tell that it still has good top speed but now I have to hold down the throttle for about 5 seconds and let it bog and surge until it finally seems to catch up and operate normally. It was bought with new plugs and a battery and ran excellent until today. It idles fine and @ medium speed it seems to be fine. It only happens when I punch it. Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

the RAVE valves need pulled and cleaned most likely. possibly clogged carb filters and get rid of the grey fuel lines. but it sounds like the RAVEs

Why get rid of the grey fuel lines? Is there something abouth them?

Grey fuel hoses = junk. Especially right about now. EVERYONE who has grey fuel lines on a 1994-2000 boat should now be experiencing problems with these hoses. The alarm clock has gone off.

The inside of the hoses breaks down in a chemical reaction that releases junk into the fuel loop. The smallest restriction points take the first hit - internal carb filters and the fuel selector valve.

See the link in my sig below.....

OK, This looks like my problem too.

So, I need new fuel lines. And a complete cleaning of the fuel system, to get the residue of the old grey lines out.

Gads. Why did they build it with rotten fuel lines?
