    Johnson 150hp low RPM

    I have a 2001 Johnson carburated motor on a 19' Javelin Renegade. Recently I have had some motor problems that have been corrected but still am having an issue with low rpm's. The prop I am using is a Raker 14 1/2X24. This prop was recently repaired by Mark Croxton and had minimal cupping added. I also have tried an original Raker 14 1/2X24. I had a 6" jackplate installed and have adjusted up and down to achieve my best performance height which has worked out to be at 4" under centerline. I have also replaced the main fuel line from the tank to the fuel pump including the primer bulb. (old line ID = 5/16 - new line ID is 3/8) Have changed from factory recommended sparkplugs to NGK's. Ran a bottle of Johnson/Evinrude carb cleaner. I think that I still have a fuel delivery problem at WOT but I am not sure what to try next. There is still 2 hoses from the fuel pump to the intake manifolds that have not been replaced. Compression check indicates that they check out fine with all 6 being close to equal. I need some help here as to what I need to try to find those missing rpm's. Thanks

    First thing I would do is ditch the NGK's and go back with the original Champion plugs. Then when running, try pushing in on the choke, if it picks up.....fuel delivery, if not check the electrical..... I would also check the sync and link.....
