Ahoy, Tony.<br /><br />Welcome to iboats and many thanks for your service to our country. :) <br /><br />I suspect that you are down a cylinder or two.<br /><br />Fill a spray bottle with fuel mix and spray some into each carb when at idle on the muffs. If rpm jumps up noticably you may have carb trouble on that carb.<br /><br />If that doesn't work, carefully pull each spark plug wire and see if the idle drops or stays the same. If the idle stays the same that cylinder is probably not making power. Check to see if it will jump a spark to the block.<br /><br />Let us know what you find and we can recommend further troubleshooting.<br /><br />Good luck. :)
