What is required to check the link and sync?
Maybe its time to buy a Seloc manual for this outboard. I read in another thread a member was having the same issues i am having and everybody said to move to a smaller higher pitched prop. I just hate to spend money on something that wont help. It wouldn't be so bad if i was working, but right now i am on workers comp and it sucks.

Believe you should WOT at about 5,400 rpm and hit high 30's mph if the engine's still making proper hp.

My 2000 Johnson 150 would run 42 mph at 5500 rpm on my 79' V-20.

His old crossflow isn't going to run quite as strong as a newer looper. He should be turning up to about 5300RPM's WOT and I would think high 30's to maybe 40 is possible if all is right with it.

I am beginning to believe this big *** prop is my trouble. The 15x17 i found for $40 was sold before i could call. Based on what i have read through here i am leaning towards a 14.5x17 prop. Right now i am swinging a 15.5x14 and also have a 15.5x15 aluminum (spare) that does even worse.
I put my throttle wide open, and yes, all carbs are wide open. So my issue is not there i believe. I was able to run it on the hose and use the rest of my sea foam out of my 6 gallon tank that i couldn't use when running. The previous owners have put some money into this motor. She cranks within two seconds now. Also what should my compression be?

I ain't got no idea what the correct compression should be but I'd tend to believe 90psi and above should be good. And hope for less than 10% difference between the cylinders.
Have you tried to reposition the engine up a hole or two? I'm guessing about 3/4" above the bottom of the boat (cavitation plate) should be close.

Right now my cavitation plate is level, maybe a hair lower, than the keel. I will set up a scaffold frame tomorrow and lift her up. How many holes? Right now the top bolt is in the 2nd hole from the top.
