I have had an intermittant problem of no power past 1/2 throttle. While out last time, I sprayed carb clean directly into the carbs. Its a 3 cylinder. Top and bottom cylinders caused the engine to almost die, center cylinder, the boat speed picked up. We adjusted the fuel mixture to increase fuel to the center, and leaned out the top and bottom carbs and all is well... at least for now....<br /><br />This problem was intermittant, Is it possible that the carbs were just out of adjustment??? Or could it be a debris or water contamination issue? Carbs were rebuilt less than 50 hrs ago.<br /><br />Thanks for any input...<br /><br />-Jason
