    I have cleaned up the fuel system, carb flush and filter change, and provided a tune up. The A4 starts right up and runs fine. I can accelerate it in nuetral up to 3k and beyond no problem.

    I adjusted the reverse so I could back out of the slip (previously it was the first mates job, but we are getting old). The reverse took more turns than I expected on the clutch adjusting nut.

    Finally got out as the rains in CA have stopped and once I put it into forward cannot get past 1300 RPM. The motor bogs down. Was wondering if over tightening the reverse clutch can cause this problem? Any thoughts out there? Will head back to see if the shaft turns easily in neutral.

    Thanks
