SORRY FOR THE LONG STORY....Repowered with a used (approx.) 1995 90hp Evinrude. I have ran the motor on the muffs several Times while testing but got it in the water for the first time last week. At launch motor appeared to run fine. Motored about 2200rpm cruising but ran motor up to 4500 or so here and there for about 15-20 min at which point I idled down through no wake zone. Upon throttling up to get on plane I seemed to notice having to increase the amount of throttle to get the power I needed. Now no longer able to easily spin up to 5000 rpm at best was getting 3500. Motor seemed to still be running smooth....not missing. By time I reached dock I had nearly no power at WOT and would not idle. From my automotive experience I am guessing fuel issue. Tried comb o gauge between seperator and motor and was @ 3 @ 1500 on the muffs. Any ideas where I can start to systematically troubleshoot the problem. Thanks in advance.
