Hello,
This is a 1998 offshore that I picked up to replace existing motor. Before installing I went thru the carbs. Ran it from May thru September with no issues. Then sat under a cover until this May, with treated fuel.
Issue I am having is occasional bogging on slower throttle up (not dropping the hammer) and also having a really tough time maintaining RPM between 3k and 4k when in the rough stuff. I just can't get 3,500. It will jump to 4 or drop back to 3. It's really weird.
I replaced the main fuel/water separator. Bulb stays firm. Just ordered a new inline filter. I will reverify compression this week.
The one change I did make was replace 17p aluminum with 17p stainless Mirage Plus. The aluminum would over rev. Stainless puts it right at 5,800 rpm.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
