Having conquered one issue after another... there appears to be one more complication. It lugs and dies in forward. Sometimes it will just barely keep running.
Wide open throttle. Engine to temp.
It seems to rev no problem. Reverse seems okay.
As soon as I shift in to forward it starts to slow down and lug. Usually dies. Sometimes will barely keep running in a zombie state.
There are a lot of threads on this problem... reading them suggests it can be anything. The carburetor, the fuel pump, timing, plug wires, fuel tank, distributor... basically anything on the boat.
Which is a bit terrifying.
Starting with new plugs, distributor cap, and plug wires... I'll report back if I find a fix... suggestions welcome of course
