Nick,
Good to hear you got it fired up. I’m still finishing up the Sea King 5. When you say it runs rough at high speed, is it popping or just running slower than it should, smoking a lot, and and sounding like it’s only firing about half the time or running on one cylinder? By the description it sounds like it’s running rich and you are leaning it out until it takes off, then it’s starving for fuel, but… I realize you say you had to richen it to make it run right, then it screams and stalls. Also, do you know your tank is working properly. It could be that it’s running out of fuel and, speeding up due to lean condition, then running out of fuel and stalling? Just a couple thoughts.
