So when I'm cruising, let's say I'm at 95% throttle, I'm turning around 4200 to 4250 rpms. But when I open up to 100% throttle, my rpms drop to 4100 to 4150.

Is it starving? Could the governor be the problem even though at one point it turns up higher?

Here is a rough chart to help illustrate what I'm talking about.


Stock 27 Kohler.

Lost velocity, jetting. How close are you to hitting the governor at wot.

Governor is around 4600 neutral.

Is this something that just started or has it always been this way?

Can you make it repeat this response in neutral, out of water?

Initially, sounds like you are hitting a rev limiter?? Mine will drop to 3600 once I hit the 4350 mark.

Did you ever do a plug check at WOT? May be going lean at WOT. Easy way to check, pull choke lever in small increments if possible when at WOT see if rpm rises.
