I just purchased a 1991 Stratos with a 200GT Johnson. I did a compression test and it read 75 across all 6. It did start and run alittle ruff but the fuel sysytem had obvious issues. I brought it home and drained both tanks, replaced all fuel lines, filter, water seperator, and bulb. I filled the tanks and added Sea Foam. I took it to the lake yeasterday for the first time and fired right up. I noticed it had a miss kinda like a cough? It missed hard enough to cause it to stall when in gear and idleing at 650rpm. Miss is pretty consistant every few seconds. When trying to accelerate it just doesn't want to get up on plane like it just bogs. I have to slowly ease into the throttle and try to get up on plane. Once there it run ok and I can hear or feel a miss. It only was able to get to 50mph GPS at 5200rpm. I think it should have alot more top end than that. I have no jackplate and run a 24" Raker. Someone please give me some guidance. PLease don't tell me I bought a bad motor.
