Motor runs great for a bit maybe an hour or two then only wants to idle. Revs up in neutral but in gear only runs at a fast idle once warmed up. Could the motor be hot? Checked water impeller it looks great nothing broken or wrong with it.
Motor cranks and idles great doesnt miss a beat.
Mixed gas at 50:1 ratio
small fuel leak found on vent line leading into fuel tank, tightened hose clamps seems good now.
Still gas in the water in back of boat. Gas tank is under the floor near impossible to see.
Gas tank leads to filter then primer bulb then motor.
Unsure of compression on motor but seems fine when first getting to lake runs great 25mph
Ideas on what else to check or try are appreciated.
