AQ125 not going beyond 2000 RPM under load

[redpanda07]

Updated to the electric ignition and changed the fuel pump as well. after doing so much of work I finally realized that the engine is all good its the outdrive. Its a V8 outdrive and mine is a 4 cylinder. now I am looking for an outdrive that i compatible with my more. may be a 270, 275 or a 280.

Hi everyone, I got a outdrive 275 and looks like should be a straight swap with 280. the outdrive came from a AQ131 and mine is AQ140 so it should be a straight fit. I am getting it for $300. What do you think ?

It will work, just be sure that the oil in the replacement drive is clean with no water or metal pieces. Also look at the nipple that the water hose connects to is nor worded away. Replace the drive shaft bellows and feel the universal joints for smoothness.
