I did a lot of searching for similar problems and i can't seem to find anything relevant to what is going on with my motor. First off I just replaced:
- water pumper
- thermostat
- poppet
- lower gear case oil
So i took the boat out for the first time on the lake today, it ran great at idle and about 1/4 throttle. Once i tried to increase speed to about 1/2-full throttle the boat went somewhat faster but still not up to par. The first day i ran it, I did a bad mix of gas with to much oil, it seemed to run a little fast and then i finally put in 1 quart oil to 1 gallon. It ran fine at the speed it was traveling but won't go fast. I still haven't clean the carbs because it's sat for a couple of years but anyone else have his problem? Could this be a compression problem?(going to check compression) and if they sell a carb rebuild kit with all the gaskets,jets, floats, ect.?
Thank you for any help, very appreciated!
