Hi there, I'm hoping someone out there can help me with this problem.
My 15 hp outboard is my traveling motor, I live on an island
its used for travel up to a few hours at times in salt water but not very often
she starts up on the first pull every time. Idle is fine. everything is fine until we try to
rev up to a planing speed. It's not over load. She always planed with 2-3 people in
she revs up to about 2/3 of her actual speed and just sits there. Won't go any higher.
She also vibrates quite a bit at idle. She will ever turn herself if I take my hand off because
of the vibration.
We've checked replaced the plugs, rebuilt the carb cleaned high speed jet, tightened all the gas hoses,
replaced the bulb, added in a fuel filter between bulb and motor, checked all the filters...
Anyone know where we should go from here ?
Cheers
