Ferm, thanks bro!

Here is a little more info. The boat idles and runs great. No funny noises, stalling sputtering or anything like that. The ONLY thing that is wrong is it won't reach full RPM's (off by 500) and you can tell it is sluggish. It will consistently will make 4500 RPMS and 34 mph trimmed up sucking ducks as Reel would say. No variation whatsoever.

I just talked to a local shop and of course he's 2 weeks behind and he says my symptoms do not sound like carbs....said it sounds more ignition based and that I might be dropping a cylinder. If that is the case then what am I looking at here? Stator? Do these mamajamas have powerpacks? What else? When I check the plugs it should be obvious if one is not firing as the plugs I just installed are brand spanking new.

P.S. The shop said a ballpark figure on a carb rebuild is $150 per carb - OUCH!

Thanks!
Blue
