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?
Starving or flooding one, look at the plugs, should tell you which
Check cylinder compression
With your.luck engine is needing work
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.
Carbs need a good cleaning,jets plugging up after all that tank clean out. Probably still got a little trash floating around in the system.
Carbs just got rebuilt
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.
New plugs to lol I'll just give him a buzz Monday and tell him something's not quite right
Did you pull in the anchor.:Rofl
On the brighter side could just need fuel pump rebuilt or something simple like that :)
Anchor? Don't even have one on the boat right now lol
Last time i had that problem had some water in the boat . Right e.z. ? Lol
I had to treat my fuel pump with fuel treatment for an hour or better to get the pump to work correctly after 5 years of setting up,,,, I just took the pump out of the VST tank and used a clear piece of line and ran it from input to output to make a circle,,,used a 12 volt battery and ran it with fuel treatment for 5 or 10 minutes at a time until I Was how it sounded and ran after about an hour of running off and on,,,,reinstalled it and it ran perfect after that,,,,
Might sound stupid but are you sure all plug wires are on, I changed plugs on my boat and forgot to plug in right side, motor seemed fine until I was on the water, then It would not get on plane, once plugged in it was fine.
If you get back on the water and its doing that. Hit the choke while taking off. If it runs better jet is stopped up. Most times it will take right off when hitting the choke. That or the timing is off when under a load and kicks in when advanced. This great fuel we have now any old hose's may be breaking up and plugging up the jets each time you clean them. Be good to change all those out also.

Could be Reed valves. My Merc. Acted like that two years ago. Just wouldn't wind up ouut of the hole but once on pad ran great. Replace Reed valves and found old ones chipped off and missing some. Has ran great ever since. Easy to replace if your at all mechanically inclined
Hogster1, Think about your last statement in this quote? This is DonDon we are talking about!!!! Of course he ISN"T mechanically inclined. More like DECLINED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

Get him to check the CPS sensor
Thanks Guys. Well some of ya. Lol
BTw Sat, I used to be a helicopter mechanic, just don't know much about boat motors.
