Meier, I am having a hard time believing what I think I am seeing. Where are you running this thing? It sounds like you are saying you are running it in some sort of bucket or tank or whatever.

Bottom line is you are only kidding yourself and confusing the rest of us, if that is true. You just cannot properly test and adjust a 28hp motor in anything less than a proper test tank and a test prop. You mentioned running it at full throttle for 10 minutes and are disappointed with the fuel usage. Put that thing on a boat on the lake and get it properly dialed in before you scatter powerhead parts all over the place.
