She ran fine last season but I
She ran fine last season but I seem to have lost power this year. She cranks right up with no issues but she takes forever to get on plane. Then I can get about 22mph. Last year she would jump right up and top out around 35mph. I have not pulled the plugs yet but I was wondering If it could be as simple as a tune up and carb cleaning. Another thing is that when I shut the engine down she sputtered as if she didn't want to shut down. Also at WOT i here was sounds like spark knocking but it calms down after I back off the throttle. At idle the engine is chopping a little and there is no oil in the water and the temp stays around 180.
