85 OMC 1.6 L help
Bought the boat about a month ago and it has been running fine. Holds a plane somewhere around 3500 4000 RPM, Pedal to the metal gets me about 29 MPH, cruise about 20 MPH at 3/4 throttle. I'm a happy camper. Gassed it up last night, Shell regular and headed out. Engine, under load, won't exceed 3000 RPM. No load and it rev's up fine. Tried every trim angle possible. Just ended up burning a lot of gas for no good results. Today, Checked plugs and gap, both good, made sure the tank breather was clear and even tried a run with the gas cap off to make sure there wasn't a vacuum being created in the fuel line. No jog. Checked the water separator, no water, pulled the fuel filter and it is clean. Gas is fresh and so is the oil. Gumout sprayed to clean carb. At WOT you can feel it momentarily surge up into the power zone but then it just drops back. Gone as far as I can with the fuel system which was my leading suspect and am at a loss now. Any help would be appreciated. -- MikeG Heirloom Woods www.heirloom-woods.net |
