1985 30 hp Evinrude

[gregh1952]

I have a 1985 30hp Evinrude. Rebuilt carb, new fuel pump, clear, free fuel lines and new fuel tank. Idles great, will freely rev when in idle, put it in gear and it is a gutless wonder, no speed. any suggestions?

Run a compression test. Check for spark at plugs. May be an air leak in intake manifold or reed valve problem.
