5.0 mercruiser carbed SN:OW355448
I had another thread but it got moved to the prop section. I was convinced this might actually be a prop problem until I made some improvements. This motor has some hesitation while accelerating, it bounces RPM's a little. Its a small cough. It doesn't seem to be making much power in the lower RPM range.
I have changed plugs, wires, distributor cap, fuel filter / water separator, cleaned the spark arrest, and moved the accelerator pump to the highest setting.
It has improved a lot from where it was, but it still is not as strong as it was earlier this year.
Before I did the tune up, it wouldn't even get on plane.
It still has a little cough in it, as can be heard in the video linked below.
As you can hear, once it reached about 3000 RPM it has no more hesitation or bogging.
What else can I try?
