Ok Merc issues

There's spotty service in the John Hancock building. I'm not sure my employer would be too excited if I were taking calls from the wind-talker on their dime. I'll call you as soon as I set foot outside the building.
 
Hahaha

I no see you calling me!! And every time I call its I will call you back and you disappear!!

I am glad CB doesn't treat me like that!

MJ - I think it's bogging cause it's not getting the fuel it needs at higher RPM (above 4500). Whether it's the fuel pump, carbs, or some restriction b/w the tank or motor . . . We'll have plenty of time to go through the entire system this winter and replace/rebuild everything. Those motors run HOT at lower speeds, you can add a H20 pressure gauge and a temp gauge to ease you mind. I run snipped tstats during the warm months, so the motor runs colder and pees right away . . . but you can flood the motor when starting (as I showed you almost everytime we went out) Hopefully Spares or Ferm will come along and chime in here.

I vote for the restriction between tank and carb....along with a different winter gasoline formulation. The anti-siphon valve takes a couple ounces of pressure to open the spring.....The butane added in the fall up north, and the south in November causes vapor lock if you happen to have a anti-siphon valve with a slightly stiff spring. I've been there and got the T-shirt....boat would bog down past 4000 rpm and stall if you didn't quickly pull the throttle back. Figuring that one out wasn't cheap or quick.
 
Thanks but all these issues have been worked out and it runs like new! Now if i can just get all the ice to melt i be fine!!
