That suggestion alone makes me doubt your "mechanic".
Adding lead will do about as much good as hiring a Voodoo Doctor to dance around your boat sprinkling chicken blood everywhere.

• Can you tell us the procedure you did to check the timing?
• Are you certain your plug wires are in the correct firing order?
• Have you looked at your plugs to see their condition?
• When you re-built the carb, did you use a new gasket or the old one?


As John and others have said, a fuel pressure gauge would be very valuable in your diagnosis and eliminate a lot of the guessing.

Also, I'm still wondering if you have an exhaust system issue...
