My Honda spun up to redline (6gs) as fast as you could ask it to w/both the 15 1/4 & 15 1/2 props...the extra diameter didn't slow it a bit...

As for the suspicion of idling causing the cyls to load up...it may very well be...a trick to prevent that at idle is to TILT the motor UP a little PAST LEVEL...that prevents unburned oil from building up in the top of the cyl and fouling the plug...a marine tech told me that years ago and it worked on the 150 Evinrude I had at the time...

Joker, I reread some stuff and edited a portion I posted earlier about a 17" stainless or a 19" aluminum should be about right. It was supposed to be a 17" stainless or 15" aluminum.
I ran a 14.8x17 aluminum and a 14x19 stainless on mine and got almost the same exact numbers fuel, speed and rpm wise. I need to go to a 17" stainless.

And get you a gallon of Seafoam, mix to what they suggest. Think it's 1oz per gallon.
