Just an update. I have cleaned the carbs, and I am firing on all cylinders. I replaced all the coils as well. I was able to get the tach dialed in, and I was running too low of RPMs when in gear after a little research. Now I have all cylinders firing, and I am running about 850 RPM in gear in the water. Not sure if anyone knows how many MPH I should be able to do in a 16' StarCraft aluminum boat, but I can only get about 30 MPH out of the boat. Not sure if that is where it should be or if it is low.
Should go faster....what RPM's are you achieving?
