Joe, a friend told me about how you are a marine motor expert and i seriously need some help. Well, the motor is a 1972 25hp evinrude sportster with less than 20 original hours, long story but i insist it is very true. the motor started right up and looks great,everything really clean. i recently put it in the water for the first time since getting it 3 weeks ago and like i said it ran great, in idle, until i put it in forward. well it idles great in forward but will not go to full throttle at all in forward. maybe just 1/4 throttle. i have cleaned my high speed jet and compression is 105 on both and i just got new j4s gapped at .030. what do i do now? when i put it all back together it started for about 3 seconds shut off and now i cant get it started again. help! i am just getting into this outboard mechanics and could use some advise. thanks bossman!
