I'm rather new to boats so yall might have to dumb down some things haha
Bought a 2007 Smoker Craft with a Honda BF50 that unfortunately has been sitting for the last 3yrs due to previous owners health. I've replaced the water impeller, fuel filter and thermostat so far. Finally got it fired up and cooling right in a tub but when I went to do a test run on the lake, it maxed out at 1100rpm in gear. When in neutral it will run great up to 3000rpm (haven't tried any higher than that yet) for a few solid minutes. The primer bulb isn't really hard but it don't collapse either.
I've looked through the other posts trying to find clues to look at but no luck so was hoping someone might have delt with it before and able to give me a few leads.
