Just got my motor running on all 4 cylinders and it feels like it runs at half power. If I go to full throttle, it sounds like it is over revving. I was lucky to get 12 mph at 3/4 throttle. The prop has numbers 4x10x13

When starting, it cranks a lot and starts when i give it full throttle. I noticed gas spots in the water when it started. When running at idle, it sound like it wants to die like the idle is too low.

Ok, I put a new prop on the motor and got 20 mph! Getting better! It pulled very hard to the right and I noticed the "anode?" Off center to the left. So I adjusted it straight and will test run it again tomorrow!
