got a question for you all, brought the boat home last week and did the service on it, took her out to the lake and went for a spin, starts great, idles fine, runs good,,,,but,, when i put the hammer down all i can get out of it is 3500 rpm? 351 w 650 4 barrel, s.d.309 in a 21 eagle e6,aa impellor, last summer we were pullin 4300 rpm all summer no problem, didnt do any thing different to the engine when i serviced it, new oil, new plugs. the 4 barrls dont seem to be opening up, but buddy was watchin when we were testing and says they are open????how is this possible?? and advice would be great,, thanxs! |

Check your plug wires and timing. I had a crossed plug wire once and my boat would idle, start and run fine other than it was low on RPM (sounds the the same as yours). |
