    Default My 1964 5.5 HP Johnson Sea Horse outboard motor

    I'm having trouble getting a lot of power out of my motor. Any advice? Used a vibration tachometer and it registered 3300-3350 ish on max throttle. What is the normal range for this motor for RPMs? Haven't checked the spark plugs or the butterfly valve.
