Did you figure out your problem? *If it was like mine, you probably had a fuel restriction. *Hopefully its that and not a problem with your motor.

P.S. How did you see with the bimini up forward like that?
I did change the coil but, agree with it may have been a fuel problem. The carb is new and the tanks are clean but, it was really rough and the tanks weren't full.

The forward end of the bimini top rested on the top of the windshield and the rear end was held up by the 6'boathook. It was jerry rigged in about 30 seconds.
I had a clear view thru the W/S. Except for the stress it was fun being underway like that. Only problem was the boat wanted to breach with the following sea. Thankfully it was only about 200 yards I had to sweat it.
