I have a DT30 (year 1991) oil injection that runs perfectly on muffs, but when I put engine in the water, it runs not well at all:
Symptoms:
-not getting to high RPM at all
-more difficult starting, almost not staying on idle (shuts down)

Already done:
new sparkplugs
clean carb's
new fuel

What more to do?
(I suspect that it might be a problem with waterpressure "on" the exhaust while in the water, but do not know what to do...
Any help?

have you checked the compression?

need good compression,good spark at the correct time(timing) , and correct air to fuel ratio.
test what you can and then work on the fuel if needed

carbs, reeds, vacuum leaks or flooding(too rich)
