i was wondering what the correct prop size is and what the maximum rpms are for this motor also the boat seems to almost have a rooster tail behind the boat but it throws the water on the back of the boat what is causing this
Here is a little bit of background on the motor it sat for a long time without being run. When i first got the boat i took the carb off and cleaned it out real good it was real gummed up sprayed out the lines and replaced the primer bulb and fuel line. i started the motor and it ran good even...

In joe reeves WOT procedure it talks about using a spark tester and setting it to a 7/16 gap what is the reason for this step do you have to do this when you set the timming and why or what would it hurt if you didnt do it
