i bought this motor last summer and when i got it to the lake it would only turn 3500 rpm's then it suddenly woke up and ran like a champ (5500)rpm. i only put it in the water one more time last summer (georgia drought) and it did the same thing. after it comes alive it runs great the rest of the time. it idles perfectly and starts great cold or hot. until today i have not ran it since august. i have however ran it on the hose every 30 days. well today it would never turn more than 3500 rpm's.
what the heck is wrong with this thing ?
motor is a 1998 3cyl 40 hp mariner model 40 elo
