Have had this boat for a few seasons, has ran great, had it out for about 45 minutes today, ran well, then swapped the kids in the tube, went to take off and it had no power. The engine starts and idles just fine but when you give it throttle, it shifts like normal revs up a little but after that has no go, I could not even nurse it over 2,000. Oddly enough though with it in neutral, I can raise the fast idle lever and get it easily up to 5,000. So the issue any appears under load. I also noticed the tach bounces all over the place when I tried to go, it would jump to 9,000 then 1,000 then 4,000, and so on all while the engine is only turning maybe 2,000.
When I got home I pulled the plugs and checked for spark, all seemed well, the rest of the engine appears fine nothing looks out on place. The carbs are all opening and closing as they should and the advance/retard mech for the trigger stator is also moving like I think it should.
I am at a loss as to what to look at next any advice? Thank you
