Oil ran dry last month........after refill had some running issues but cleared up. Ran for a day pulling tube and skiers.....no problems. Sat for 3 weeks. Ran pulling tube and skier for another day. Probably a total of 2 hours running after oil ran dry with no problem. Was running across lake at 5200 rpm and noticed slowly loosing speed/power. Pulled throttle back to neutral and engine shut off. Would not crank initially. Just a click from ignition. After a minute cranked and started. Headed back to dock -tried to run it but heard rapid clicking noise and definitely less power.....ran idle back to dock with clicking noise from engine present most of the time. Next morning started to drive to launch and pull from water. Got up on plane with definitely less power but no apparent noise....or maybe faint clicking. Where to I start looking to I'd problem.......help is appreciated in advance
