with help from everyone here i now have the engine running. its an 89 bayliner 19ft ldrive. it runs between 30 to 35 bepending on the weight at 5000rpm. still have a miss when idiling or low rpms in gear. all cylinder around 135 psi, all seem to be firing fine. new plugs and carbs cleaned and adjusted via sticky from the forums. can anyone point me in a direction. would like to find the miss, but doesnt stop me from using boat. no miss a higher rpm or if there is it isnt noticable. thanks for the help
