Re: My 50hp force wont plane

Better yet tell us what prop you have on there and your present max rpm and speed.You might want to double check it is running on both cylinders.
That should get on plane with almost any prop assuming a healthy boat and motor.It might be really slugish and not make rpm but:::

You changed the lower end, did you get one with the same gear ratio?

Does it seem to be trying or does it act like its not getting full throttle?
Check that the carb is opening all the way.CAREFULLY Squirt fuel mix into the carb at wot.
Disconnect and carefully ground one plug wire at a time and see if it will run.Try a wot run.If you had the carb off you may heve to check link and sync.Has it ever run right?
