I have a 84 Chrysler 85. Carb kits new. I looked at the sticky about syncing timing and carbs. got all of that right. New impeller, New fluids, (fluids were not milky when changed) and good compression. Also new plugs. I just got the motor and put it on my boat. I cant even get enough power to raise the front up. top speed maybe 15 mph. I have a 18 ft. fiberglass Ebbtide. What could be causing it not to have power?? I did notice a adjustment with a lock nut under the flywheel. I turned it a time or 2 and it got a little better but not much at all. Also there are 3 carbs and each carb has a small gold screw. They are tightened all the way up. Is that a carb adjustment or should I leave that alone? It has no air adjustments on the carbs. Thanks for ANY tips you could give me.
