Hi All ! New Problem here. No Book yet on this motor but just needing some possibilities of what might be wrong...(Not sure of the year))
Dad just bought a 20hp motor (ser in Subject). on the tiller handle there are a few positions..
1STOP
2SLOW
3START
4FAST
Underway in a 16 foot boat the hashmark on the handle will only get to the Start position and is very Slow on the water (felt like 1/2 throttle). I checked the motor with the hood off and I can see the mechanical advance stopping on the shifter stop when in "N"..and going another 1 to 2 inches further to another stop when in gear. I cant see the butterflys but the butterfly arm IS moving to it;s stop at Full throttle (START position on the tiller) Bulb is firm underway and the plugs looked the same when I got home and pulled em'. So that should rule out one Cylinder firing ? Electric start, Runs and Idles Good, but wont goto WOT. Any Ideas where to start looking ? thanks for reading ! and if anyone might know the part # for the Lower unit seals I'd appreciate it too !!! thanks !
Happy boating !
