"I purchased a 69 28'TRoja
"I purchased a 69 28'TRojan with intentions of bringing it back to life.......after a carb kit, rotor and distributer cap, thermostat, and some other minor things, the motor runs well in the slip. However, when I took it out on the water, I could only get 2000rpm, I backed off to 1000rpm for a few minutes, then tried to go back up and it started backfireing thru the carb. I'm really getting disgusted. I've been out about 1000.00 on a mechanic and no improvements. I've learned alot on this discussion board and I think I'll Try timing next. Any better ideas?"
