"I have a 2.3 ford/cobra/omc s
"I have a 2.3 ford/cobra/omc setup in a 1987 17' bowrider. When the engine runs in neutral with no load it sounds good and freely revs up near redline.
However, when accelerating in gear, the engine revs somewhat normally to about half throttle, (which is not quite on plane), and then with any additional throttle input you just get a bogging sound...no more revs or power, (although it appears to have additional fuel available as the accelerator pump seams to still do its thing).
I initially assumed it was a fuel issue, and I went through the filters and carb, but didn't find anything and problem still exists.
I thought if it was electrical, (points/condenser) then the problem would occur unloaded as well, (in neutral). I thought the electrical system worked independantly of load? Am I wrong here?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I didn't want to just start throwing parts at it without trying to understand what's wrong.
Thanks!"
