[QUOTE="momule, post: 417834, member: 20155"] There may be a connection to the heat and high humidity that you're experiencing but your 4800 RPM is not that far off what you should normally expect which should be around 5000 RPM. You could drive yourself crazy (and broke) trying to squeek that last 100-200 RPM out of the motor or you can check obvious things and then just let it go. You might find some non-ethanol, premium and also run an external fuel/water filter but it's not like you're operating a race boat with that 40HP 4 stroke jet. [/QUOTE]
