I have a 1976 Cobia with the omc straight six. I repalced the plugs,

then it will run the rpm's up.
What could be the problem?
Thanks Brad

Based on my experience and what I've observed, I'd say your accelerator pump is bad. But, I've also
had a bad coil act up when I applied the throttle.

Sure. That would be a good thing to try if he has a spare one kicking
around. Also a wet distributor cap.
