Hey guys, so over the past two outings i noticed some bogging conditions where I'd give it full throttle but wasn't able to plane and get over 2500 rpms. I'd bring it back to neutral, try again and it would take off and be fine. I've done pretty much everything except for getting into the fuel system and as such haven't had the carb rebuilt. It idles perfect and cruises fine almost always except for the few times I mentioned above. Also I've noticed that at WOT , the rpm's will gradually increase slower than I would think they should get to optimum WPT rpm. So I decided to take off the flame arrester to get the number off the carb so I know what I'm dealing with and found a lot of dirt on the choke plate. My belts were a bit loose last week and probably caused some of this dirt but do you think these issues are carb related and I should rebuild? Not sure when it was last rebuilt and prior to me acquiring it was salt water and not very well maintained.
Inside looks pretty clean?
Also this is a 4 barrel Holley but I can't find any model #'s on it. Anyone have any idea base on these numbers?
