I've got 3 things I need to figure out:
Idle speed
Surging
Bogging
I have checked all the carbs, replaced bad fuel lines, rebuilt fuel pump, installed new spark plugs, determined spark was good, timed, linked, and synced. My prop is a 3 blade Turbo SST, turing 4950 WOT on my CV-16. I have experienced the hesitation/surging out of the hole as I'm accelerating. It seems like if I give it wide open, it will go away. The bogging issue usually only happens with a load. If I have a load, I have to move the throttle forward EXTREMElLY slow in order to plane out. With the idle, it seems like I'm about ready to loose a gear case. In the water it's 1200. When I put in gear, it slams down to 800, then idles just fine. Our ski team uses OptiMax's on our Hydrodynes that idle at around 700 all the time, in gear or not. Is that something just with newer engines? Any insights would be appreciated.
