[QUOTE="Flowie, post: 467985, member: 21445"] It went from WOT running fast...to a gradual degrading to basically idle...then finally killed itself. I used the trolling motor back to the launch. I did try to restart it at the launch. It reluctantly fired up. It acted like it ran rich when it was idling. I only let it run a few seconds though...was scared of doing more harm to it. Compression was 130 ish across all 4 cylinders. I am for sure it needs a carb rebuild, and not just by my assessment and the boat shops assessment. I have a really good relationship with the guy that takes care of my cars, lawn mowers and snowthrowers. He is of the same opinion. [/QUOTE]
