    Update on my 1990 2.4 175Black Max on 1995 Procraft 180 Pro

    Drained all old fuel, replaced all fuel line, went the decarb procedure in the driveway. Still have to advance the throttle each time I start and I managed to hit 51mph @ 5100-5300 rpm with a quarter tank of gas and my two young sons with me.

    23p quicksilver prop/no jackplate

    Is there anything else I can check myself or is it time to get it to a mechanic for a water test and diag?

    Except for the first start of the day, I always have to crack the throttle to start
