I just acquired a 89 Bayliner Capri 19ft with a 89 Force 125. The boat sat for over a year but ran before then, how well it ran is unknown. I changed plugs and installed a tell tail and put it in the water yesterday. It idles great, starts right up, and runs smooth. The only problem is that it is slow to reach full rpm, it takes a good 20 seconds or more to reach 4200 rpm. 4200rpm is all I could get her to go as well. It doesn't spit or sputter at all it sounds great, it just creeps up to full throttle and won't reach full rpm. I put on a buddies Michigan prop that is 13.125x15 when the original prop is 13.5x15 but I would think the smaller prop would spin faster.
Thanks for any help you folks can provide.
