" OK, here's the situation . . .
83 50 HP Evinrude - sat out in weather for 4 yrs. Been cleaning - plugs, gas lines, carbs (pulled apart and sprayed lots of carb cleaner, but no rebuild), Seafoam in the gas tank (1 oz. to 1 gallon - 3 gallons), compression 155 & 160, what appears to be new power pack and new (?) things at the opposite end of the spark plugs (not the plugs, the other end), new gas bulb and line . . . that's pretty much it . . . NOW . . .
At WOT, she bogs down. Up to 3950 RPM's, runs great. Then, bogs down and the RPM's drop. No overheating (oh, yeah, new thermostat), good pee. Semi-firm bulb at WOT.
Tonight - went to WOT with the lever, and she bogged down, then pushed the key in and then she acted flooded till I released it, then up to 4700 RPM's and she ran like a CHAMP! For a few minutes, that is. Then back to the same old 3900 RPM's.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, in advance.
