    If it is doing it in neutral, it ain’t the clutch dog.

    being the maiden voyage it is possible its 2 different issues, it could be the low speed jet too lean, I’ve been fighting with that too, today was the first round out with this boat, and the carb has just been gone through so I didn’t have anything "set" it could be that it was chugging lean, however it does seem like its missing as intermittently at idle in neutral as it is wide open in gear and also at half throttle. I’m inclined to think its an ignition issue, as opposed to fuel as its so intermittent and sudden, I am on the lake this weekend and cannot dive into it too deeply, I am heading to a salvage yard tomorrow to get a set of controls as the FNR lever snapped off in my hand today. I had a 58 duratec with a 67 18hp evinrude for years and apart from general maintenance never had issues with it. this lonestar has been plagued with issues. thats what its all about I guess. Ive got to find a test wheel so I can really check it at home. its a long way to a lake.
