Hi guys,
I have two of these motors that really struggle to go in the water. I bought the boat with motors not installed. Fitted the motors and all electrical is working fine.
On land they idle and ref perfectly but in the water they struggle. The boat get on plain (max 28Km/h) with both motors on full throttle but that's it.
I have done almost everything, Carbs redone, checked the reed valves, new kit in fuel pumps, spark plugs and spark, compression test (one motor 120psi the other motor 115psi) , checked the exhaust for blockage, fuel lines and filters, adjusted the air/fuel mixture etch.
What is concerning s that both motors are doing the same. I even adjusted the Hight of the motors and play with the trim and tilt with no real difference. No water in the hull.
Both motors are fitted wit 18" s/steel props?
When running in the water its like running through mud.
Anny suggestions and help will be appreciated.
Thanks
