Re: forward problems

NS70A is model number. Just bought the boat and motor it ran fine and started acting up the second time I took it out. Don't know when the last.time Carb was cleaned and as far as I know no other work was done to it.

Re: forward problems

Was it adequately warmed up? How were the carbs cleaned? Has the fuel pressure been checked? Have the plugs been inspected?

Re: forward problems

You can'd run WOT in reverse; the throttle is limited. Probably a bit lean. Have your dealer check link-and-sync, check plugs, and possibly clean the carbs. Could be someting like a restricted fuel filter, or a bunch of things. Only way to know for sure is to diagnose it, with the aid of a Factory service manual.
