    Still chasing down performance issues on 3.0lx carb guidance requested

    I'm wondering if maybe this re-built carb I bought online(from a marine carb site) could have came with the wrong jets installed. And if so could that be causing engine to seem to bog or stumble passed mid throttle? All recommended checks of other causes have been done, and seemed fine...
