OK- No water in gas(fixed that problem)<br />Installed Racor fuel/water separator as added <br />insurance. No water seen in clear resevoir)<br />Engine starts right up everytime.<br />Sometimes runs GREAT at W.O.T- other times it bogs down to run at 3500- 4000 tops (usually runs at<br />6000-6200 whe running right)<br />Runs smooth at low speed most of the time but I sometimes hear an occasional knock. Can tell <br />pretty much before hand if its going to bog<br />down because then the lower speed sounds a bit rough.<br />When it does bog down the engine always sounds like its TRYING to kick in- intermittant sounds of higher revs. ALWAYS runs smoooth when running correctly at WOT. Could it be a leaky hose causing only X amount of fuel to enter carbs? Where<br />do I check for leaks? Recently decarbed the engine.<br />Also sprayed cleaner into cabss with engine running. Do these engines (85- 140 VRO Evinrude) have any moving carborator parts? Always winterized using Stabil stabilizer.Also noticed that at times<br />there isn't a smooth transition from low to high speeds. Thanks for your help.
