I just purchased my first boat, 1987 Bayliner with a 85 hp Force Motor. We live in Iowa and with all the rain we've had I wasn't able to test drive (too much flooding) at the time of purchase. I was able to start the boat motor with muffs.
I got the boat out on the water last weekend for the first time. The motor starts great has good compression but when I hit the throttle the motor wanted to bog down and eventually would die. Always started and idled great.
during the week I found the fuel inlet on the motor was plugged up with debris. Cleaned this out, replaced squease bulb on fuel line and siphoned out what I could of the fuel and replaced after filtering out any debris in tank. Took it on the water today, ran great out of gear, hole shot was great, high speed for about 5 min. than back to the same as before. Fuel filters are still clean. Any suggestions?
