Hello and thanks for helping me out.
On my original voyage the tach went up pretty high like there a spun prop hub/bad coupler... Since then I have determined that my tach isn't always the most accurate since I have run it in my driveway to determine if I had properly repaired the cooling system. today I took it out for its second voyage (under my ownership), it cooled like a champ and the rpm gauge functioned properly, with the rpm gauge functioning properly and with a friend listening to the motor we ruled out a bad prop or coupler.
The problem I'm running into is the motor wont produce more than 2200-2500 rpm depending on trim. The motor runs nice and smooth at all rpm range... Just won't go above 2500. I took the water separator off and dumped the contents into a glass jar, it contained no water whatsoever. What would be the next thing to check, the timing or the fuel pump? Is there something that I am missing that is an easy fix?
Thanks for your help!
