long story short...
I swapped all the parts from my blown>75>850 onto a good (74 >850) as it had been sitting for some years. my old 850 had a rebuild 2yrs ago and had new CDI ignition, dist. pu, wiring harness, timing belt, rebuilt carbs, fuel pump, all new hosed and rebuilt fuel pump.
I used the Solec book and did the swap of all parts. put the boat in the water and it started fine and ran fine at idle and up to the point where the carbs start to kick in, DOA, engine just dies at that point. will re-start no problem. If you try to ease into the throttle it will start to slobber and miss then die if you go any farther into the throttle.
Did a tear down of the carbs and blew out and sprayed all passages (the carbs were clean as could be) new needle and seats and gaskets. .
Compression was 135 to 140 on the replacement engine and all the filters were replaced, even hooked up my kicker can with fresh gas, no change.
back to the water and same problem.
side note: checked the new plugs and the upper two were wet, the lower two were dry...
any ideas..
thanks Stormmn
