Hello everyone I have recently acquired a 1962 Evinrude outboard motor. The motor runs great at idle and in mid range but does not develop power at WOT. I have it on a twelve foot long aluminum Jon boat. Motor has good compression (80 and 85 psi) and spark which leads me to believe that it is a fuel problem. I took the carb apart and it looks good. It was flooding when I bought it and was almost impossible to start. I have that issue fixed and it starts on the first pull of the rope, but how do I make it develop full power at WOT. When running the motor it will develop full rpm without a load (in neutral), but not with a load (in gear). The motor will not put my small boat on a plane as it should. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any advice.
