    Timing is retarded ;-)

    Reading your other thread I'm thinking about merging it with this one, because the issues are one in the same Boat currently has a 17P and you want to go to a 19P which will just slow you down more.

    Timing is retarded ;-)

    Your unable to reach factory WOT so the motor is lugging. It's irrelevant right now if you are or are not reaching max rpm. Do not start throwing parts at your perceived problem until there actually is a verified problem Yes it can

    Sseveral issues all at once!
