    Thank you for taking over Don. I’m still here observing. My offer still stands for anything I have that may help you get this motor going properly. I have jets, etc. May have a couple of those recirculation valves.
    Don is on the right track. Lets do the simple stuff first. I’m a little worried about your WOT RPMs, but don’t want you to go down to a 15" prop either. No performance there. These engines will do OK at 5000RPM WOT & still have good hole shot. In an overly loaded situation you just can’t expect the same take off. Running the motor at WOT at 4500RPM is not good! That is peak load & should be avoided. Just pulling back on the throttle is fine. Just wanted to state those facts.
    Starting to feel well enough to post a little. Already missed several meets this year down in FL. That’s not going to work out well at all! Hoping to be back on the water soon.

    PS: Looks like we are dealing with a 1988 model motor instead of a 1989. Big difference ignition wise! J150TLCCA on the chip in powerhead. I thought it was an X model (25") midsection. Again only a minor difference. Can make a difference in jetting. Thanks for clearing that up.
