hello to all, need help please with my 1998 Johnson ocean runner 225hp started to not accell in gear, rebuilt the carbs, ck'd the VRO 2 sys, new gas, new plugs, new trigger, new power module , compression 110-105 all cyl's, starts right up idels fine revs great when not enguaged, put it in gear and try to rev up goes to about 1300-1400 rpm's and boggs bad and will die, if you feather it up it will sometimes go up but very very slowly and will only rev to 2500 rpm on the trailer. Motor is on a 26' striper.Ck'd the spark with top shelf timing light all cyl's have good spark at all loads and rpm's. pulled the carbs and reed plates and shined a lite into the reed cages all the reeds are open on both sides but closed at the tips, .004" clearence on the sides average, b4 I spend a bunch more on this thing could these reeds be the problem?, thanks Paul, son is coming home on leave from Quantico Marine Base to do some SteelHead fishing, need this thing fixed any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks Paul.
