My 76 70hp evenrude will start, idle and run on the muffs and in the tank but will not accellerate when you get to the lake. My mechanic has attached/adjusted the control cables (on an 84 15ft Cajun bass boat), replaced the carb gasket, cleaned/adjusted carbs (twice), rebuilt the fuel pump, checked coils and replaced one, compression is 100+ on each cylinder, checked flywheel key, checked fuel, changed prop and every time he takes it the lake, the same result, no accelleration after you put ii in gear. He is still working on it but may be running out of ideas. Would appreciate any ideas from then forum.
