[QUOTE="68glasspar7870, post: 482611, member: 30860"] New spark plugs were verified and gap is correct. Those old plugs are long gone. It doesn’t have any power as in it does not like to idle when put into gear, and falls on its face. WOT feels like I strapped a 5hp motor to the boat. Basically it sounded like a four stroke, or an extremely unhappy two stroke with fouled out plugs. It doesn’t even drop the back of the boat into the water, let alone go fast enough to plane out. I have a very short video of it running in the water at WOT and it’s not good. [/QUOTE]
