Have you tried adjusting idle speed and idle mixture screws ?

Fuel and Insurance are the cheapest part of boating hobby.

maintenance, repair and upkeep rival owning a plane, race car or horses.

Wife and me have budgets.
Boat has no limits to keep running and safe.
Nether of us can walk to shore.

Oeps…. That’s a scenario i didnt think yet of.
When I removed the stern I installed a new exhaust rubber. Didn’t see anything abnormal then. But will see what I can find

I know about the costs but I’m just starting to doubt if The engine is worth it.

Bought a simple borescope. Hopefully will learn me something more about inside of the cylinders.
