Hello this is my first post.
I've got a 1973 aluma craft V bottom boat w/25hp johnson electric start, the boat has been garage kept for last ten yrs (not been used for last ten yrs) that I purchased in may this year I had it worked over before I took it out put new water pump cleaned carb. Boat ran really strong first 4 days on the water, all at once it has started to act up, it will run strong then bog down even with trottle wide open then kick back in and run strong again.
This last time we took it out it ran about 60% strong and still bogs down every so often. I have charged the battery, put new plugs in it, cleaned all the grounding points to the engine(sanded all the paint off).
I started it up in barrle of water and let it idle still seamed like it was boging down and then kicking back in and idling ok.
Any thoughts and advice will be great.....Thankx......
