Well, today I decided to take a buddy along with me to test the ol speedster out for the 1st time of the year. I am having power problems with the left side motor, I can have both WOT and it feels like I am doing somewhere around 35-40 mph(can't see my speed my paddle wheel is broken), and the boat steers off to the left because of the left motor not producing as much power. At times, you can feel the left motor power up equal and its like a boost in power can be felt, but then it slows down some again. Then at idle when I push the left lever WOT, the engine acts like it can't tach up in the high rpm's. Any idea's?

Thanks!

Check your plugs....

That was going to be my 1st thing to check, I looked at them the other day and they look like they need replacing. Sooo, I guess this weekend when the wife is away I will get to it!

thanks!

This would be normal if the shift lever is in the neutral position...
