" I have a '70 Morgan 35 with a Palmer M-60. The engine runs smoothly, but just started a new trick. In neutral, the engine idles at about 600 RPMs. It shifts cleanly into both forward and reverse. In reverse, at full throttle, the engine will spin about 1300 RPM, which is o.k. When I shift into forward, the engine will not go above 800 RPM, basically idle, no matter how much throttle. (It used to get up to around 1800 and push the boat 6.5 kts.) Other info: currently using a two-bladed folding prop. The carb probably needs a good cleaning, and it's currently running a bit rich. I'm at a loss. Any suggestions? "
