[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 331275, member: 9169"] Thanks Jaime!! My buddy confirmed the carbs are opening up fine and the timing arm is good to go. We also inspected the reed valves when we had the powerhead apart and they looked fine. This is why it's driving him bonkers trying to figure this thing out!! The motor is marked from OMC with a model number that translates into 50hp jet. So I'm almost positive OMC built the motor with the jet pump installed. I checked outboard jets website and got the jet pump model # that should be on this motor. I'll double check tonight to see if I can find a model number on the pump just to be sure. My buddy is thinking there is a crack or hole in the exhaust tube. We are going to inspect it in the morning. He also wants to back the boat in the river to be able to run it with just the foot submerged. I'm guessing this would confirm if it's some sort of exhaust issue? [/QUOTE]
