Help if you can, I have a 1984 150 V-6 OMC. The engine starts and runs good up to 3100 rpm, then it just loses all fireing, but when you slow down a little it takes off and does just fine, but not over 3100 rpm. I've checked cranking output to the ignition coils per the manual, the readings are...

An old retired couple we're taking a scenic car tour thru the western states, driving up a mountain lane they came upon a cowboy holding his horses reins in one hand and slapping and kicking his horse in the side with his pointy old boot. The old lady tells her husband to pull over cause she...
After decarbonizing powerhead & exhaust on 50 hp, when I run at 3100 or higher rpms engine shuts down like the key is being turned on and off, throttle back a little it runs fine. Checking timing I find timeing goes from 35 BTDC back to around 15-20 BTDC when advancing throttle past 3100 rpms...
