I recently replaced my 1998 3.0 L MWTR Volvo Penta with a new motor. I have completed the break in period and have a pretty good running motor if it wasn't for the mid-range bog that I get. I have no issue reaching WOT but right around 2500 RPMS I get a serious hesitation, but if I leave the throttle there the engine will catch up. Also if I throttle all the way it seems to minimize the hesitation. If I increase the float level I get less of a hesitation but I lose my ability to cold start and my idle is all over the place. Could this be a fuel pressure issue even with me being able to get WOT? It runs great on plane and I can pull a skier out of the water but if I try to run in the 2000 to 3000 RPM range it runs bad. I cannot tell if it is running to rich or lean. Any thoughts would be great.....Thanks in advance for your help.
