[QUOTE="milli, post: 412474, member: 20997"] I was able to get the boat in the lake today. The motor started right up. Idles perfect. However when you give it gas it runs really rough. I was able to get the boat up to almost 10mph (gps on phone). It would not plane. When giving it full throttle it runs and sounds bad. Almost like it is out of timing. The motor is a 1978 johnson 35 hp. There is a little linkage with a screw on it that you can loosen and then there is a small plate that you can move back and forth. I am not sure where it was at on the old carb or where it needs to be. Any Help in this area would be great. I am at a loss. I have tried everything. Does anyone have the part in the manual that talks about adjust the Carb linkage timing on this motor? I have searched forums, google, youtube, and came up with nothing. Other than that my son loved it. he didn't like it when the big boats went by and made our boat rock but not to bad for his first time out on the water! I didn't get any pictures because I was to busy trying to keep it running and messing with it. [/QUOTE]
