Hi guys,
Im at a loss. I own a 1992 Evinrude 120hp V4 VRO. The engine revs fine in neutral and reverse however while going forward the RPM's will not exceed 2800 rpms....and this is constant....from cold to hot hour to hour it never planes out or goes past 2800. I have checked while the boat is running and verified the butterfly valves are wide open and the ignition is advanced. I have replaced all the fuel and oil lines, the plugs, rebulit all the carbs, the primer bulb. I have good spark on all four cylinder as well as good compression ranging between 115-135. I have tried ditching the onboard tank and went with a portable tank today and it made no difference. My next step will be to eliminate my vro I feel like it may be choking my engine with excessive oil. what scares me is people talking about S.L.O.W mode and a bad power pack.
So my questions are any advice on getting my boat to go fast? Also, how can I test too see if I am in slow mode and if the power pack is bad?
Thanks,
Bryan
