Well i bought boat used 96 290fs stratos with evenrude 225 and i have noticed that there i a peice of wire with 6 jets on it and is wraped to a hose on the carb. The boat was new in WV and went to Harrisburg PA and now i have it in the mountins of PA. Im 3rd owner. But last fall I had it out 1 time before I put it away and the boat ran great. Wot was 52mph and 6200 rpms. All winter i was looking to buy different prop and i got it out this spring and cant get more than 47mph and 4800 rpms . If i trim more i only rev to 5100 rpms. Changed power pack. But not much change. Did some oms tests cant seem to find the problem.
 
Those are intermediate jets, only problem they will cause is a bogg ot of the hole, there was a TSB to intall smaller ones due to this...
