I have a problem that I can't figure out with my motor. The engine will run fine for about 25 minutes with good throttle response. The issue usually arises when the boat goes to idle for a bit or clutch ahead.
After trying to run again after idling for a while the engine wont go above 2000 rpms and seems to be bogging down. The engine will race at idle after restarting and usually dies when I put it ahead. It ran fine last summer after replacing the entire ignition system and timing belt.
I can hardly get it started again after it dies. I have to move the distributor around just to get it to kick over and then move it back to a semi normal position. I'm not too sure whats wrong with it, the only thing we have not touched is the carb. Any input would help, I know it sounds like a broad problem.
good compression on all cylinders as well. engine operates in the 180 to 190 temp range.
