Lets start at the source of the problem. Last year as I was pulling my boat into the hoist the motor dies. I could not get it to start again at all. After asking some questions I was told to get new starter. I figured out that the starter was not the problem. Then another guy told me to clean the carborator. I cleaned one of them and the boat did start after that but it was averaging 10-15 MPH slower than normal. I blamed this on all the algae on the bottom of the boat and that we had 60 gallons of gas in it whitch is twice as much as I usually put in. Yesterday, I launched the boat for the first time this year. It started great but it was still going 10-15 MPH slower and the RPM's were way down. I cleaned off the algae but the gas remains. It also idles badly, it keeps wanting to die on me. I do not know why this is happening. My motor is a 91 force 150. I would greatly appreciate any help given to me to figure out the problem. If any more info is needed i'll try to help. Thanks!!!!!!<br /><br /><br />Walter <><
