    Ron, it does sound like you are running lean somewhere… I’m sure you have been through the carb? The next question, what kind of fuel line and quick disconnect fittings are you using? If not a good OMC brand, or if they are aftermarket, change them out. I haven’t found a good usable aftermarket fuel connector for OMC. The only one’s that work for me are from the dealer. Any boats that come into my shop with aftermarket connectors get changed out before I do anything else! I’ve just had to much trouble with them. The other item to think about is the fuel pump. The fuel pump on your Gale is the big one and is very reliable…. but maybe it’s time for a diaphragm kit? Let me know if you need one. Hope this helps!
