i was seeing if anyone can help me out with trying to figure out why my go devil is not as fast as it was right before duck season. It is a 20 hp go devil so its obviously not supposed to fly but 9 mph with only me and my lab...any answers?

check rpms and prop measurements. significant increase in rpms could mean prop wear. thats a good first step to diagnosing the issue.

i appreciate it bud ill be sure to do that first thing in the morning...ignorance haunts me but would you recommend getting a tachometer to be able to check the rpms

Yup. get a TinyTach and it helps a ton!

Sounds like your prop is gone!

I'd highly recommend a tach. not only does it serve as a diagnostic tool but also can give you engine hours which lets you practice a good mantience schedule.

Thank yall for your help its much appreciated ... Where on the Internet is the bet place to buy a tinytach

As others have said, it sounds like a worn prop. Call Godevil with the serial number off the frame and order a prop and tach. Also, you can order a tach directly from the manufacturer at .... http://www.tinytach.com/tinytach/index.php

the tach has been ordered...any input on the best place to buy a go devil lt prop

buy it directly from go-devil themselves. if you go to their site, it will give you a little info on the amount the prop is gunna cost ya

measure your prop before ordering. The diameter and pitch was originally a 9x4 most probably so see how small it is now. check your cup in the prop also. if you determine for sure you need a new prop call gd tell them your serial numbers off the motor they'll send you what you need.

Has your motor been actin weird to start?Havin to choke it any more than normal??

yeah man come to think about it some days it does act like that...any advice on whats going on

Clean your carb out, just cleaned mine out for the second time in 6 months, always getting clogged jets.

good deal bud ill be sure to do that thanks for the advise

Clean the fuel shutoff solenoid real good also

If you've lost significant mph, it may be a combination of things already listed. Also maybe check the bottom of your hull. If you've been stump jumping all season you might have some dings in the rear of the hull that will slow you down aswell.

goo luck.
