It appears that the motor is finally running as it should. Only time will tell but here is the latest things that have been shotgun swapped in my motor this last go around.
Rebuild all 6 Carbs
Replace all 6 chamber floats
Install new Cranking Battery
Remove and clean fuel pump
Replace high speed jets in all carbs
Replace Encoder
Replace Optical sensor
New Head Gasket on Starboard side
Prior to this the following work was completed
Replace entire Fuel line system including connectors
Replace Fuel/Water Seperator
Replace all Spark Plugs
Check all reed valves
All of this is on top of the new power head replaced 3 years ago
The on water test this morning was excellent. Plenty of power and plenty of RPMs. WOT at 5800
Power was smooth and solid from idle through WOT with no carb overload when powering down to idle.
This has been a long and frustrating deal and I really hope this motor is finally right wish me luck.
I do wish you luck, it can be a bear getting these things set up.
TX the motor is all well and running like a new one. I just hope it stays that way. If it isn't one thing it is another.
The main culprit was the encoder that had developed a crack once replace all is good. Had a lot of carb work done and discovered that along the way someone had installed the incorrect high speed jets so those got changed out as well along with new bowls and gaskets. They we found out the head gasket had blown on the starboard side so that was also replaced. Don't ya just love old motors.
