Okay so my remanufactured powerhead doesn't have the right compression on my E115eleua evinrude. It's 130 on both starboard cylinders. Top port is 105, bottom port is 110. No carbon buildup, no cylinder scoring, leak down was 8% leakage on 3 cylinders, 15% leakage on #4. It's got a fuel pump issue or it's catching air because it becomes starved at full throttle only. Before me my uncle had this exact boat, and ran a 13 1/4 diameter by 21 pitch prop for years. The boat hit. 48 mph. I'm lighter then he is by 40 pounds.the entire load is lighter then what he had run when he hit 48 mph. I have two props, the 21 pitch that I just stated, and a 13 1/4 by 19 pitch. Same exact prop, just a pitch down. I put the bigger prop on, I'm still turning the same Rpms, 5000(wired up a new tach) and she's still only running 41 top end speed. It runs no different then the smaller prop. Could my fuel starvation issue cause the slower speed? Or do I have to dig deeper? Help please!!
