I recently traded to get a 93 bayliner with a force 70 hanging off the back. Was told it ran but due to sitting for a while he assumed the carb would be clogged up. For the deal i was getting on it i figured i'll clean it out and give it a shot. The next weekend i got myself a barrel and ran it in the back yard. Fired right up, seemed kinda loud but being my first boat and outboard i just figured it was nature. Took it out on the lake the weekend after and seemed ok but didn't want to go anywhere, my father in law came out and was like well your prop should be like 3 times the size it is, thats why it doesn't want to go. Took it out a few times fishing after (since speed wouldn't be an issue). Last weekend i put a new prop on it, took it out to see how fast i could get her and when i opened up to full throttle she jumped and then bogged down. Any ideas on what it might be. I'm pretty good with cars so i'm assuming it's a fuel issue (same reason she is kinda hard to start without giving her a little gas at first) but being new to this type of motor just thought i'd get some field opinions. I'm gunna try and tinker with it this weekend in the barrel, finally found a new fuel filter for it so gunna try that to. Any other ideas would be great and maybe how to adjust the high end throttle since i have only found an idle adjust as of yet. Thank you Shawn
