I would check your pump , and how long did you run motor on trailer , was the pump any good before, what pump is it? was water temp OK and oil pres OK and what pump water pressure did you have on motor, did pump pull good.what speed did you get to? I hope some of the jet boys jump on this, And help you out.
:banghead: come guys help him out :o

To much water going though the motor ?
-
We need more info on the engine cam size,intake,heads,comp ratio,vacum secondaries????????did it spin up before you rebuilt it
-
A copy and paist on a similar question... MikeF and Oldsquirt are the authors...
What's your total timing at 3000 rpm?
Is the throttle cable adjusted to allow the carbs to open fully?
Are the secondaries even opening?
Are you sure the tach is accurate?
What speed did you see at 3300rpm and how does that compare to speed before this work was done?

What impellor? If its an A2-4, you may not be making enough HP to turn it, esp if you put a higher duration cam in it (IE the engine starts making power at 3500 - but at 3K the lines cross and it can't spin it any faster). What MPH are you running at 3K? Did it rev higher before you rebuilt it?
-
Are you getting any vibration? I've had a rock inside the grate area and at idle would run fine, start pulling rpm and the rock would pull up into the impeller and cause all kinds of havoc.
We definately need more information as to what it is doing to give you a better idea where to start.

could be a tooth off on your cam timming

Could be bad gas. :banghead:
