Hey guys,
Havin some more issues with the boat. Hope someone else has seen this and can help. I recently had some water in the gas I think I could see milky crap all around the carbs. I cleaned the bowls and disconnected the line at the fuel filter and pumped it out till no more water showed in bucket. After I couldn't get it to idle at all. I set the jets to right around 2turns and nothing changed (3 carbs. Don't know much about them). There is a bar on the side of the engine connected to the throttle with a screw and nut on it. So I pulled the bar out and tightened the screw which made it idle higher and started working. I was very happy with this but now I feel I've messed something up because she will barely get up on plane without a fight and with the throttle all the way down I'm only getting about 30-35mph when before it was 45-50. I don't know if this makes sense to anyone but I can't afford the mechanic so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much
Mike
