Well fellers I have a problem! First off I have a 25 evinrude motor 73'model to be exact. I just spent $200 getting new points, coils, condensiers, and carb cleaned and rebuilt. I took her out yesterday for the first time since I got her back and she runs like a dream. she idles great,and the top end is great. But the problem is take off. My friend has the exact same motor as I do except a year older. we tried to race yesterday and he totally blew me away from the whole shot. we usually run identical from take off to finish. The problem is when I am sitting at idle in gear and I "floor" it the motor seems to hesitate for a few seconds, and then the motorgetts up and goes. Its almost like it bogs a little. The prop isnt cavitating becuase the engine isnt reving up when I goose the gas. Before I had the boat worked on, the boat would get up and get on plane fast! I use to could get to wot in under 15 seconds now it takes almost 30 sec. <br /><br />The only visual difference in the motor its self is the position at which the Rich/Lean lever is at. (the original external knob broke, and the position of the lever on the carb is being held in place by a wire) Before being brought to the shop the rich/lean adjustment was wired about 1/3 of a turn to the right from where it is now. Could this be the culprit that is keeping it from getting a good hole shot (running too lean). I also checked compression and it is good. I just dont understand what the problem is. Other than the whole shot the motor runs fantastic.
