Thank you Jim and Art. I did follow up on your suggestions. First - I know there is a mixture adjustment under an anti-tamper (Welsh) plug nut I believe that is only 'idle' mixture and the motor idles good and does not hesitate so I didn't drill out the plug. Re the carb part number, I can't find a part number anywhere on the carb. It just says 'Suzuki Japan' and the part number on the box is the right part number. But who knows if the carb that came is the box belongs to that box.
Prop size - I ordered an 8 pitch prop, down from the 10 that is currently on it. I'll try that before taking the carb apart.
Re the linkage - there is a boss on the carb that stops the butterfly from opening beyond full throttle and I verified that the shaft is contacting the boss at WOT.
I'm trying to borrow a timing light. I understand that timing is electronically controlled by the CDI and that may have failed.
Lastly, I'm looking at the depth of the prop. The anti-cav plate (I know that's not what it's called but I've calling it that all my life) is just below the bottom of my hull which is about 6" in under the surface when running on plane. Is that too deep? Would one of those fins on the plate help?
Thanx again guys
