evinrude 30hp told it was 90 model on 16 double jon.<br />I can turn the throttle wide open when I get it in the water and it only raises the front and will not take off. When in reverse it will turn wide open. Putting it in reverse and revving it seems to help get the eventual high speed forward. It'll run wide open for approx 1/8 mile before it goes back to slow crawl.If the throttle is let up at all it will slow before the approx 1/8. Once it goes fast the first time I can whack the throttle and get a response sometimes 2nd,3rd maybe 4th time. No middle throttle,slow or wide open is only choice. Seems to get the first burst of speed in wake,after high reverse,or when motor is tilted up and air bubbles are allowed to get around the prop. Low resistant times in other words.<br />Carb was taken off and cleaned.<br />New fuel line and bulb.<br />Flywheel removed ,magnets built in on this model.(LOCAL MECHANIC THOUGHT MAGNETS COULD HAVE FALLEN SO I TOKE IT OFF TO INVESTIGATE.)<br /><br />Stator didn't appear to be damaged to untrained eye.<br />Unplugged top coil from stator and it shut off<br />engine.<br />Unplugged bottom coil from stator and it kept running with no change in idle.<br />Also noticed spark plug wire on top got more volts than did the bottom.
