I have just started my boat for the first time this year. Since I had not been able to get it out more than twice last year, I decided to pump the old gas (7gals) out and put 10 gals of fresh in. I also rebuilt the carb, replaced the dist and rotor, wires, plugs. the question is that it started great and idles (and at the first detent forward with just throttle and not under load) great. When I go to increase the throttle past that detent as if to take off, it hesitates and tries to stall. Any ideas? I plan to take it out this Friday on Lake Michigan depending on waves or another local lake and plan to give her hell and do some adjustments but I don't know anyone that don't have the engines without fuel injection. Thanks...Bill
