Hey all, new to the forum and have been browsing with no specific luck. 1980ish Evinrude 25 that engages forward, neutral, reverse successfully (although it does seem a little sloppy and not a solid/firm shift). My problem: The engine revs easily at high RPMs in neutral, but once in forward, the engine is bogged as though it has a severe load. Every now and then, it is as though a switch is flipped and the RPMs shoot through the roof and the boat (14ft jon boat) rockets forward for a split second before seemingly slipping out of gear and bogging back down. Once back at a low idle, I can switch to neutral and finally reverse where I have 100% power the entire time. This test was done several times to eliminate any variables with the exact same outcome. What are your opinions?
