    Have a 1998ish 200hp ocean pro, Seems like the VRO system may be over pumping during no wake idling along situations. <br />Before we take off after 10+ min no wake we have to rev her up to clean out for a better take off. Any idea how to determine if we are running rich? Given the alternative...

    Install new reeds?

    Seems like replacing reeds "according" to mfg web sites can renew some vigor into motors. Anybody have experience with a decent motor before reeds and a real life comparison to after?

    Over revved--*Did we toast it?

    We think we over reved a 155 evinrude commercial. Spewed blue smoke, we shut it down. Now it turns over and sputters then dies out. <br />Had about 1/4-1/2 tank of oil. <br /><br /> Had 120-130 compression as of last week so it WAS pretty strong.
