Bought the boat last summer 17' Stratos 266fs, fiberglass fish and ski, previous owner said he thought it needed synced well it ran but not like should of I figured out the vro pump was bad so replaced with a fuel pump, have to mix gas with oil now I don't mind, ok now I have the fuel problem fixed I assume the performance issues are due to previous owner had been compensating by making linkage adjustments now everything is off balance, it runs sluggish when throttling up from idle to wot, takes forever to plane out, sometimes have to try several full throttle then half back to full to get it to go then runs great. Last year 5800 rpm full throttle going down stream this year once planed out 6400 rmp going up stream big difference, I like, I check timing at 1000 rpm it's right on 28* the lable says that's correct but is it supposed to be that at idle, half throttle, wot or ####rpm? I've looked for info on my phone but not finding any fur my engine size. I'd like to know if I can get help adjusting the cable and linkages as well as get the timing right my kids want to tube and I'd like to ski. Can't do either the way it's currently running any help would be most appreciated
