I purchashed a 94 model Force 40hp. When I took it out the first time, it bogged down at slow speed, ran fine in the middle, and bogged again at about 50% throttle. After a carb kit and new impeller, and general going over at the outboard mechanic,(compression 128)it runs better, but still boggs at about 50% throttle. After reading all I can find in these posts that may pertain to my problem, I will check for cracked fuel lines, cracked bulb, air leaks, fuel tank venting, etc. My question is, is this compression acceptable for this motor, and my fuel line at the motor is about 3' too long, should I shorten it? Also, mechanic told me with the wear this engine has, he would increase oil to fuel mixture. Good or bad idea? Thanks. Great forum!!!!
