So...took the little 12ft Valco out on Patagonia Lake...calm...made a strong pass...clocked 17 mph..full gross on the boat...showing 9600 on the tach..assume that means about 4800 since its a twin
This was the ONLY strong pass that I could make...we cruised the entire lake for hours at low or mid throttle. But every time I rolled into it...it would pick up nicely...then fall on its face...missing...maybe fuel flow? (replaced the fuel line from tank to engine with OEM line, fittings and bulb)...fresh Champion plugs. ANy suggestions? Would old fuel cause this??? (Gas/oil mix has been in this tank, indoors since Spring)
Thanks in advance

PS This test is BEFORE the conversion,,,was just looking for a baseline with the Johnson 20....
