Hi,
I need a little help here, please. Here are the specs
79 Searay Sterndrive
23 ft Long
Brand New GM 350 Crate Motor
MSD Marine "drop in" ignition
New Plugs and wires.
Holly 650 4 barrel
High flow "Jeggs" air intake.
I just did a motor up grade to a GM crate motor to replace the aging 350. Up graded the ignition system and went with a sweet Holly performance carb. Now I have a problem. IT WILL NOT GO OVER 3000 RPM WHEN IN GEAR. If I disconnect throttle cable it will rev just fine, but when Im trying to use the throttle, no dice. I have adjusted the throttle cable and it is moving completely open. I will hit 3000 rpm at about half throttle but goes no farther when I continue to move it forward, and has no issue with power up through 3000. It acts like there is a rev limiter, but we did not install the rpm limiter in the new distributor cap. Any help would be deeply appreciated. I feel like we are missing something, but just cant figure out what.
Thanks
T
