[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 330921, member: 9169"] Not even close!! But we are hoping we have the problem figured out. The engine seems to be running in S.L.O.W. mode. Which is a fail safe that if the engine overheats or the oil injection system isn't functioning it limits the rpms to 2500, even at WOT. We don't have a tach or anyway to tell what the rpms are, but it sure seems like that is the case. We aren't using the oil injection system, so it may be as simple as disconnecting that wire from the engine. If that doesn't work, we'll have to take a look at the temp switches to see if they are bad. Hoping one or both of those are the problem, if not we'll move on down the line until we figure it out. Won't get to trouble shoot unitl tomorrow evening and will take her back out Thursday. Other than that everything went well. My controls and stick steer functioned great, motor started right up each time, transom riser seems solid, timing is on the money, plugs looked good and even though we didn't get up on plane the jet foot seems to be set almost perfect. That may change once we get on plane, but I'm hoping not. Will do some trouble shooting tomorrow evening. Hopefully it will be a quick and obvious fix!!! [-o< [/QUOTE]
