I have a 15 hp o/b 1985 Sea King sold by Wards. I starts ands idles good. It also runs at top end great. But in the middle of the power range it misses like crazy! Anyone have this problem and if you have what do you think is wrong with mine?<br />Model vwb52123<br />s/n 1028

Unscrew the fuel cap,and try it. If it goes away, the problem is a clogged vent on the tank. If not, check compression. If it is within spec, replace fuel pump diaphram. Heck, replace it anyhow. They only cost about 15 buks or so, and they wear out fast.
