Newbie here thanks for help yesterday

Posted a question yesterday got some great answers have several more.

The boat is Monark v175 with 150 Johnson OB

Problem is when I put boat in water idles starts right up ideles fine pull out and runs great at all speeds. Then after trolling or low speed or stopping will not load up on high end. If I push in choke on key will get up and move. was worst at higher altitude. While on lake yesterday if we turned red knob on choke engine would respond as normal but after stopping had to do same. i believe motor came from lower altitude. I just bought it three weeks ago and prveious owner only had for year and took out three times. Step son is Ford macanic and will help with problems just not sure with out books.

1 Bought Seloc manual said J150TLCRD motor 84 not 85 correct?

2 Compression checked all cylinders right around 70 I am between 5000 and10000 feet above sea level commpression done at 10000. how much loss due to altitude?

3 Did spark check strong blue spark at 7/16 but no where to gap plug.

4. Marine store said Seloc not in print anywhere to find store or on line? Seloc as good as OEM?

5. Marine store said to remove VRO and premix fuel?

6 Is there way to clean carbs on motor? or remove?

Thank you all for response yesterday hope to get as much help todayd

Mike.....Try to keep each topic limited to one post. You already have another post with the same title on the same problem on this forum, it's hard for people to follow.

If you had a shop do the rebuild and you still have the same problem, you should probably take it back to them and tell them your having the same problem. They most likely warranty their work for 30 or 60 days. Once you start playing with what they did, you may void their limited warranty.
