I got this boat from my grandfather from wisconsin, an 8' Aqua Lark, with a merc 20 on the back. I have it running, and with low, or little resistance, i can get high RPM's. I set the timing to about 28 degrees BTDC, the (Clymer) manual says 33. We took it out, and cant get any more than 1/4-1/3 throttle. I have rebuilt the carb, but that still isnt ruled out as the problem. Is this a fuel problem or is it a spark problem, like one of the coils or something. I have a tachometer also, but it is not hooked up, i have looked in the clymers but it does not show a hook-up for a tach, If someone knows where that is, that would help too. <br />Thanks<br />Jason
