"I recently bought a 96 maxum
"I recently bought a 96 maxum with a mercruiser 4.3 lx in he first time i used it I put about 15 gallons of 89 octane gas in and it ran ok most the time. The first time i shut it off it diesled and then later it was sputterin when coming out of the hole. I did not try wot that day. The next time I took it out i added 22gals to the 6 that were left. It seems to run ok but doesnt seem to have much power from 3/4 to full throtle. I got it up to 48 on the gps then it slowed down to about 41 and could not get it to go any faster. Also it sometimes cuts out when trying to trim up at full throttle. Is it possible it still has bad gas or is there more? I have changed the spark plugs, fuel/water seperator, and changed the oil and filter. Please Help"
