Hello Guys
I was out on the river yesterday for the 2nd time with this so called rebuilt motor.
The first time I went out top speed was 14 knots I thought at that time is all the speed it is ???
So I contacted the seller I told him that top speed he said that sounds right for that size boat??
Yesterday I went out the river and off course doing 14 knots after about 5 minutes she took off
to about 30 knots with the throttle in same postion WOW GREAT
After another 5/10 minutes she started bogging down back to 14 knots.
Through out the day it was on slow and fast Remember throttle was full when it happened.
You could feel it bogging down??
I know that new pistons were installed.
So what do I check first
Fuel pump ?
Fuel filter ( does it have one ) ?
Carbys ?
or electrics??
Look forward to hearing from you and once again appreciate your help
Kind regards
