If you are having problems getting on plane check you have spark on all three cylinders using a timing light. Also, I suggest you change all the spark plugs as they can be bad and still look fine (I had this happen to me last week).


Usually if you cant get on plane, it is due to a lack of power, and usually if one out of three cylinders is not working, that is enough power loss to have problems, but it will idle and sound fine.
