I was given this boat and it was not running I replaced the points distributer with an electronic one and replaced the coil and it fired right up and ran fairly well a little rough on the bottom end but from half throttle up it went nice , but after a few hours on the lake cruising and stopping and going again , I was at 3/4 throttle and it lost power but it did not stop running it just wouldn't rev up. Stopped and checked what I could , it started right up and part way up to plane it did the same thing. Thought it might be the fuel pump but in the driveway I can idle it for a few minutes and hear it star running bad but if I hit the trim switch in either direction it instantly runs good untill I let it go . I changed the trim switch no change tried a new coil , checked the ground ? Kinda stumped at why it will run good with the trim engaged
