New Powerhead?

[qdive1]

Yes, I should have done a compression check right there, But it had been sitting for 10 months' it could have been that way or It happened when I took it out the first time. Vaun seems to think it might have been a needle valve on the lower carb got clogged and that cyl. ran without fuel and got too hot. But I think 4100 rpms is a little low at WOT when I first opened her up, should it not be around 5,000 rpm WOT ? I don***8217;t know about these big V6 motors, do they run that high of RPM ?

Thanks for the comment on the boat, yes those photos are from last month 04/11 I bought it from the son of the original owner so it had been in the same family for 25 yrs. I will definitely add some more pics... Thanks guys ! this type of support is truly helpfull !
