[QUOTE="littleblueboat, post: 326839, member: 12602"] I just got an 18hp Fastwin and took it out on the water for the first time last weekend. It is on a 14ft bluestar runabout with Johnson throttle controls. The boat motor fires right up on the 1st or 2nd pull but seemed under powered. I did realize that I was running 50:1 instead of the proper 24:1 mix. Could this be the main problem? I was going to replace the spark plugs this week and I am wondering what else I should do to try and tune it up a bit. Looking for advice! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
