Mercruiser 260, 1982 sea ray 245 weekender, alpha drive. Thought we had it licked with the carb rebuild. Spent 3 hr on the water yesterday - about 4th time out after carb rebuild. Ran at 35oo rpm fine for about one hr, then missed every now and then then began missing frequently. Throttle back and then back to speed, would run ok. Began missing constantly and then miss got worse. Finally was able to limp back at 2200 rpm where it ran steady.<br />Will run under no load to 5000 rpm no problem.<br />Temp stayed in th4e normal range - although did move toi about3/4 in the green.
