    Picked up a half dozen keepers is all. Wind was cold lol 13 foot deep in 22-25 fow. Boat team smooth cept it doesn't have any power coming out of the hole. Once it gets going it runs smooth. Makes loading it a chore with no take off power. Any ideas ? Carb adjustment?

    Runs great once it gets going. Thing that gets me is when I rev it up without it being I. Gear, it revs like it should. Kinda like when you put a load on it, it bogs down. You probably right kdavid, bout my luck.

    Did you not just have tank issues???
    Start with the simple stuff, take the plugs out and look at em, they should look the same, check the compression, it should be within 10 pounds on each. Compression checks ok, sigh a sigh of relief and go from there, this is where I start everytime, heck it could be a plug wire not on good. Your mechanic needs to take it to the lake himself, most dont do this but there is no better way to test one than under a load.
