Two weeks ago I cleaned the carbs per the link I got from the sight here. Went fishing today and the motor started right up, ran it across the lake, I immediately noticed that top speed was around 30, last time I had the boat out b/4 cleaning the carbs it ran 37, and seemed louder. I continued to fish, and I noticed that when I started the boat it ran fine in idle, but as soon as you put it into forward gear (Idling) it would die, it than had an extended crank until I put the throttle in WOT position, it then started. I trimmed back the throttle to slightly above idle, put it into gear, and it ran fine. This did not happen before. When I got back to the dock, I checked the spark plugs to see if I was running too rich, I found that the top two cylinders were brown, but not wet, the bottom plug was slightly saturated, I leaned out the bottom cylinder 1/4 turn, and ran the boat, I ran it for 5 min, and rechecked, all spark plugs looked great, but the motor still had same drivability issue. Any help would be appreciated/
