Hi there...I recently purchased a 20ft Lowe pontoon and redid the whole thing (it sat outside for 10 years). It has a 40hp Evinrude (model VE40TLESR).
The motor idles nicely and will rev right up when not in gear but as soon as I put it in gear theres no power. Im getting to about 5mph and it seems to rev up most at 3/4 throttle. It will rev up and pick up speed momentarily when I hit the choke.
I've done new carbs kits, fuel filter, checked for good spark and I'm not sure what to do next. Any diag. tests or information would be helpful...What should I do next?!
(A new motor isnt an option and I know 40hp is a little underpowered but I dont mind as long as it runs as it should!)
