    Had LEDs and put LEDs back on it.

    Took her out this am and the new hydrofoil got her on top in about 2 seconds, but halfway through Jones(launched at Louie's) she started bogging down and would only go about 6 mph. I played with her for a while(tried adjusting carb etc) and she was still running the same. After running around for 30 minutes or so, she kicked back in ran great for a while, then started bogging down again. I had put about 1/3 more oil in than it calls for so I thought that it might be too much oil, so we ran to harborwalk and put in some more gas. That didn't help, but after a while she kicked back in again for about a mile, then bogged back down.
    GSB said it is the electronic ignition and WD said fuel filter.
    Any ideas??

      I don't know if you've cleaned the carburetor you said you have adjusted it. With the ethanol it seems the high and low jets in the carb get clogged. For a while we had the same problem it would run good then bog down and we assumed it was trash and just kind of let it be it will blow out. Well that never happened so we had all the tools to clean the carb and kept cleaning it and cleaning it and it still wouldn't run right, it would bog. We started to test the power pack. And turns out one of the plugs was bad. You might want to check the plugs. Since we replaced the plugs it hasn't failed us yet.
