    Motor cranks fine but for the first 5 minutes runs like it is bogged down at full throttle, like 1000 - 1500 rpm off the top end. Enough that when it does pick up it you really feel it. After that it runs fine the rest of the trip. Replaced the plugs, decarb, sea foam (2-3 cans) but still does...
