85 Force Timing and bogging question

[ayerssupercntr]

Purchased the manual from IBoats for the engine. There is no reference to timing the engine I have. There are three marks and the timing light reflects the middle mark at idel. When I give push forward on the throttle, the motor runs fine until I open it up past mdway and the motor bogs and dies. Any help would be appreciated. dwight

Check to make sure the fuel tank is venting. make sure the bulb is not sucking flat.<br /><br />Replace fuel pump if it is still not working. 12-15 dollars and real simple.

Thanks a bunch, found a vaccumn line with a small crack in it. No more bog. How do you adjust the idle screw adjustment to get all three carbs in sequence.
