Thanks to anyone taking the time to read this:
I've been 'reviving' a 1975 omc 190 that sat for nearly a decade. i've now got it running well, and took it for my first ride last night.
it starts right up, runs and revs normal, but once in gear, it can only manage little more than an idle...
i idled it around for over half an hour,trying several times to increase throttle and everytime i'm met with it bogging down and dying.
i have yet to replace the fuel filter or plug wires ( i'll probably do that tonight) it is a new carb (was run on another engine before this to tune it) so i currently fear thats where my problem lies...
any help or ideas would be appreciated. i'm new to boating, but typically wrench on vehicles, just nothing this old usually
