[QUOTE="justus85, post: 350061, member: 14043"] Bobscreekboy, did you ever discover what was the best fuel mixture? I have the exact same engine as you and I've had trouble very similar to what you were dealing with; namely that it doesn't consistently run as fast as it is capable of. Its like it will randomly kick into high gear and take off and then eventually bog back down to the slower pace. I realize this post is old and you might not even have the engine anymore. I was just hoping to get some tips on how to get this thing up to speed. I completely rebuilt the carb and am about to change out the spark plugs once I get them. A fella at the boat store told me this engine only works well with Champion H12's which are kinda hard to find. [/QUOTE]
