[QUOTE="admirial_deluxe, post: 522562, member: 36996"] Sure was! Here's a hint: when switching from rich to lean, it helps to have it in neutral. Or at least low throttle LOL (It also helps to know what the heck you're doing before you get in the dang boat!) My buddy was driving and the engine was running OK but not great. We realized it was still on rich so he moved to the back and switched it to lean. The engine really took off at that point! I was in the front cabin and had to reach back and throttle down. After giving each other the best-friend "we are idiots" look, he got back in the drivers seat and got that sucker up on plane and starting having real fun. [/QUOTE]
