Here's another one for you guys. As indicated in my last thread, water pump is working great. Took the boat out to run yesterday and she won't accelerate at full throttle. Engine sounds very deep and boggy. I couldn't even get boat on plane....and the boat is '14 fiber, very light!! When i back off throttle then quickly throttle up, there's a delay in response too. I dont have a rpm gauge but im getting is 1500-2000 max. Now I think about it, when flushing on muffs and throttle up in neutral there is delay too. Gota be the carbs, right?
Fuel/oil mix is new and so is fuel filter, tank, bulb, and line. Engine is definitely getting fuel. Sounds as if its too rich. This engine did sit in the backyard of the prior owner for 4-6 months. Im certain the carbs need cleaning and adjusting, obviuosly. But is there something else Im missing? Im definitely an amateur when it comes to carbs. But ive read the adjustment isn't difficult. Can you suggest an article/website with carb adjustment sequence. I recall reading you close both (2 carbs) adjustment screws all way closed, then begin opening 1/2 turn until you get clean idle. Also, is the timing/seeking involved? What should I know about adjusting this? Thanks in advance!
