So..1976 35 hp Evinrude LS Outboard. Running fine one day then next day, wont get on plane.. In neutral, engine seems to rev up fine but in gear and under load, boat will only go 1/3 speed and does not get up to WOT.
Funny though...every now and then, it sputtered into high rev's for an instant then returned to doggin' it.
I checked plugs and wires, changed the fuel ( and cleaned the tank and fuel siphon) and inline filter and cleaned the screen filter...but no change.
Honestly, this is a motor that has just run and run so I probably have been neglectful and was planning a full tuneup anyway..
Before I start playing with it, I figured I'd get some insight from this bright group.
I was thinking carb issue with a jet blocked ??
Thanks all.
