    77 140 Unusual Engine RPM

    Last weekend I connected my boat to the hose for the first time in a long time. I wanted to perform the decarb process on my engine.

    My 98 sportjet was running great. It would start right up, idle like a dream, and then run on out to 5k no problem. One day I decided that i wanted to check to make sure it was firing on all cylinders, and check plugs. One at a time i removed spark plug wires to listen for rpm changes then put...
