Hi,
I've been fighting this problem, thought was fixed trailered boat from pa to fl for vacation now acting up. Motor runs great then after 10 minutes it drops down to 4g rpm at max throttle, compression 135 on all 3 cyl, new fuel filter, fuel lines, pumping ball under load dosent help, it charges at 14v, unpluging charge system makes no difference, tank is vented, has good spark, but unplugging cylinder 3s spark plug wire makes no change in performance when this happens. I replaced the plugs, coils and still same result. I also disconnected the temp sensor and nothing. I found a broken tan/white wire in harness and repaired it...no difference. It is now not intermitent but does all the time. The motor has had its oil pump deleted a as well. I tore apart and cleaned carb no 3...still no diffrence. Reeds on no 3 arent cracked either, I ran motor in dark and witnessed almost no arching. It acts like it's running on slow mode. I am at a loss, please help if you can, I ordered a power pack but don't think it is the issue. Thanks!
