thanks for the info guys.....I do want to check my inline filter on the motor as who knows how long the previous owner was running that crap directly into the inline filter. I'm still only maxing WOT at 4500 rpm. My prop is 14 1/2" x 17p which seems like a good fit for the motor so I am wondering if my inline filter is packed with crap.

If your inline filter has junk in it the carbs likely do too. This was the case with mine. I've had to clean the carbs twice in 1 year. Eventually I'll have to pull the tank but I'm going to try draining it first to see if it helps.
