So happy today, altho getting a late start on the season went to the boat, it actually started pretty easily, ran great at the dock. Rev'd easily with no load. Cast off, crept out of the slip, gave it more throttle and nothing. Slight bump in rpm from idle speed to about 900. Full throttle, 900 rpm. Mid throttle 900. Needless to say I was creeping with wind at my stern.. Coming back in, wind in the face, barely made enough headway to get in the channel to my marina.
Lots of work last year, new electronic fuel pump, fresh plugs and wires, end of season new coil (Moyer). This is first time out with the new coil, the old one was overheating and shutting down, (tip from this forum, thanks).but the motor was putting out plenty of rpm under load, could make 5-6 knots under power.
So what one earth is causing my motor to just refuse to rev up under load? It is not missing, smoking, just will not rev under load.
Thanks in advance.
