Post by: stc315 on August 10, 2009, 12:49:40 PM: You've inspired me bro, now I'm really getting motivated to get my boat back on the water. I've been sitting back and watching you go through a few projects and it's great to see you finally got it together and got back on the water!!! Now, back to work for me, I've got a lot of work to do to get on the water!

Thanks bro ;)
Now i had to go work on it today to see why i was having engine troubles at the lower rpm's.......

Here is what i found out. I did a compression test and came up with these #'s.

#1- 170 #2- 170

#3- 160 #4- 175

#5- 165 #6- 155

#7- 155 #8- 150

The plugs. Now these plugs should have been thrown out and new ones put in , but i was being cheap
(https://www.socaljetboats.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi223.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fdd269%2F2savage4you%2F004-12.jpg&hash=85761622fdc5d4f6e0a85df2bbb59fffd3e5761d)

And while i was doing the comp test, i think i might have found my problem.... My reg was set @ 9 1/2-10 psi... whoops i thought i set it at 7psi i guess that might explain the miss at lower rpms and explains why it ran sooooo welll after 3k i was probably just flooding it with too much fuel pressure???.

Gonna get some new plugs, re adjust the reg and take her back out and see what she does now
