Came down from plane and idled around some garbage in the lake then tried to plane off again but then it started bogging down on subsequent plane offs like before and would only top out at 4k at 30 mph. Brought it in took it apart sprayed a bunch of carb cleaner again got it back to 4900 again but then started bogging down again but at least it always planed off without an issue. When it was only topping out at 4k I tried choking it to see if that would open it up more but it didn't. I only run high octane non-ethanol fuel with seafoam to boot. Any other thoughts would be appreciated. Happy with new prop I think it was definitely the right move cuz even running bad it still planes off where before it would be a barge. Did mange a couple bass on a popping frog with hula skirt but a slow hot morning

Like previously stated ... Fuel issues ... Blowing Carb cleaner through a carb apparently isn't working ... Have you thought about getting the carbs rebuilt ?? PS your wasting your money running high test in these motors ... <'TK><
