mine did this[93 150] and had to have it link & sync and timeing set,if it was the same, it ran fine out on the lake but go to load it and it acted like it didn't have enough power to push it up on the trailer, and would die, I believe I had to decarb it to.

[JeffA]

i did the decarb and plugs, still does it.

it has to be timed with a omc engine analyzer and I think it has to be in a tank or in the water,It cost me $50 at the dealer, has to be done with this special analyzer

i did that timing roller adjustment, mine was off, think that will help?

Jeff...I thought you bought a new motor for your boat??

[JeffA]

well...a new "used" motor, from the fitch to an Inruder.
