ok...to start off i have a 1995 evinrude 200 vindicator on a Javelin 400TE hull with 27p 4 blade raker prop with no jackplate. The problems start here...its very hard to start, i have to put my hot foot in the floor to start it and kinda pedal the throttle to get it to start running...then when it fires it WILL NOT idle in the water and SMOKES LIKE HELL (have to hold my hot foot about quarter/half throttle to keep it running). Then if i idle out of a no wake zone i can floor it with motor trimmed all the way down and it is very sluggish out of the hole...but when i get on the pad and trimmed out running it seems to run kinda smooth but only runs about 50mph but kinda cuts in and out and jumps to 55-58mph then back down again...and when i stop for a while to fish and go to fire motor back up it repeats the same thing all day...ive pulled carbs off and cleaned them and put new plugs in it (champion plugs) but didnt help a bit...
any help will be better than what ive got...no boat mechanic will tell you anything over the phone...they're all worried about makin a buck!!!
thanks...Colt!
