Can you believe it!! My very first post and I have a problem! 
<br /> Notice nobody ever registers to solve somebody elses problems?? <br /><br />Anyhow on to my problems... This boat has set for several years. Got it running Saturday after cleaning out the carbs and a good dose of fresh fuel. It appears I'm getting water on the top spark plug. Seems to run o.k. but the droplets of water are present when I pull the plug later. Compression test showed 145 psi on both cylinders. I was impressed with the readings, but baffled as to where the water is coming from. Could it be a build-up of condensation? Think motor might be running cold, head seems cool after extended WOT run.<br /><br />Think I need to do some more cleaning on the carbs, it seems lean at idle and then stalls unless you bump the choke.<br /><br />Another problem I'm having is while running down the lake WOT it will suddenly loose what sounds like about 200-300 RPM's and about 2 MPH for no reason. Tried squeezing the bulb and did nothing. Played with throttle linkage and timing linkage while at WOT and saw no change in rpm. This is very erratic, will do it sometimes, other times it won't. Sometimes if you shut it down and then take off again it is fine, sometimes not. <br /><br />Any and all comments, advice, and sarcasm is appreciated!!<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Bill
