I was pulling my kids on a wakeboard a few weeks ago and the engine worked fine, plenty of power, then we took a break and did some slow cruising for a while, then powered up to get back to the dock and no power - just makes a dogged muffled sound and you couldn't go any faster than about 15 to 20 mph.
Since then I have changed plugs, put temp clear vinyl hoses on tank connections, found one tank to have an air leak on a loose fitting inside tank, fixed it,checked fuel pump filter and diaphram ( new last year) re-adjusted the carbs. Checked linkage on spark advance which was calibrated last year.
Did a compression test - 150 psi on all cylinders. Basically checked all the mechanical stuff. The engine starts and idles fine and will high rev in neutral at the dock or with muffs. Could it be a plugged main jet in one of the carbs? Could it be a ignition pack or coil? Can I test it or should I take it in?
