[QUOTE="Jay415, post: 274205, member: 6905"] Test run with the new motor went well. I replaced the plugs and changed the lower unit oil. Seems like it might need a little carb work. Wide open was good but putting along it wanted to stall, and when starting to accelerate it wanted to stall. I had to play with the choke when accelerating from a slow. With my son and I I averaged about 25-26mph in a little chop. Fastest I saw on the GPS was 27mph. So all in all I am very happy! When I got home I cleaned out the fuel filter and set the idle screw a tiny bit faster. It seems a little better but that was in my driveway with no load. I'll see how it is tomorrow. If there are any motor guys that have an idea why it is acting the way it is, please chime in! I was thinking carb sludge. Here's a video of a test run with my son.
