Oh Happy Day!
Most of you guys said it sounded like a fuel issue, but Fleetwin nailed it. Some idiot (that I call me) had installed the new carburetor float upside down!
Thanks so much!!
Put it back together correctly, finally got a chance to get it on the water, and WOW, does it run!
This is the biggest outboard I have ever run on my boat, and it really flies. It starts easily, idles smoothly, and gets up and goes. So I was enjoying the wind in my hair and appreciating the beauty of God’s creation when the boat started slowing…and slowing, but the motor was revving. Apparently the rubber inside the prop started slipping so I had a LONG SLOW ride back to the launch with the engine running just above idle.
I think I’ll start a new thread if I can’t find an inexpensive fix for this.
