1982 force 50hp

[wgrimsley]

Hail to the masters, I have a 82 Force 50 that was running great on the water. After a stop, it would not go over 3000 rpm and sounds groggy. I have replaced all fuel lines, spark plugs, plug wires, pulled the carb and cleaned it twice, cleaned the filter screen and inspected the diaphram, and checked all the linkage. Still the same problem, no RPM's in forward. This motor is capable of about 7000 RPM's.
I also checked for a stuck reeds when the carb was off and I have changed out all the fuel (always prem).

Any Idea of what I am missing??? This has become very fustrating. I have spark, I am getting fuel, and I have air but no RPM's???

Opened to the experts!

Thanks for any and all input.

Have you checked the timing?Al so check to make sure the carb is opening all the way open, what about the fuel itself?Is it fresh ,no water in the tank???Keep us posted on what you find. MOPARMAN ROLL TIDE

I have the same problem on 88 50hp. Never did find the problem, I have replaced everything in sight, still no results. I am rebuilding my 50 johnson instead. mort
