can't get over 3000 rpms on starboard motor
1989 37' baja with twin 572's, star motor won't idle smooth and dies when put in gear. It revs up nice to 6000 easily under no load at idle. Put both motors in forward and it cruises fine up to3000 rpms at half throttle, port side throttle will push the boat faster with more throtle, but star throttle does nothing when pushed further, don't hear any popping or missing, just feels like it is out of gas to make the motor go faster. Sounds like a fuel issue?
anyone have any ideas? not enough fuel getting to the carb? bowl floats too high/low. What should I look for? It does have msd ignition
