And I am hopeing that it is my mechanic. I refuse to change my timing advance from the position it has been in for the 9 years up to now (motor as been great for 8.5 years). I made the timing adjustment while on the water one day. The motor sounded sick getting on plane and running. I stopped and put the arm back where it was.

New VRO pump, new vapor seperator, vapor pump, all fuel delivery lines replaced with clear to check for bubbles and then back. Carbs checked and intermediate curciuts tweeted. Compression, leak down and electrical all are fine. Other changes made while being on the phone with BRP for an hour.

Motor is still bogging down after being off 30-60 minutes (fishing a spot) and restarted.

I truly trust my mechanic and am praying that he can find the issue and correct it.

Has anyone else found any cures? For those that made the adjustment to the timing advance, does your motor sound like it has all these years?

Thanks,

Dayton
