"ok here goes... i have a 74 n
"ok here goes... i have a 74 national 18' boat with a volvo 4 banger engine, which says E20 on it, and a 270 drive. when no load is on the motor, such as idle, or when the drive is disengaged, engine runs fine, and smooth, but then shuts off. when drive is engaged, smoke comes out of both of the carbs (1BBL carbs). it runs fine with the drive enaged up until about 1000 rpm, and then, when throttle is engaged, it bogs down SEVERELY, and wont speed up at all. i checked the jetting on it and they work fine. when throttle is backed down a little bit, the engine runs more stable, but still not perfectly. i replaced the plugs, gapped them properly, and checked the distributor, which seems fine. timing, though, is another issue, such as throttling up... it sounds as if it is missing, i dunno... also, the plug wires going to the distributor, are hooked up - in ascending order, ie: left to right, being 1-4. is this correct? also, which one of the plugs on the distributor cap is the number one cylinder? sorry for the long email but i wanted to be as elaborate as possible, and describe everything in detail. any help is GREATLY appreciated.... thanks again."
