302 V-8 problems 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago

My 44' Kingscraft has twin 302 V-8's. The port one is fine. The starboard one will rev up to about 3000 rpm at half throttle in neutral. But when I'm out on the water, full throttle only gives me about 2500rpm. Seems like a definite lack of power. Any suggestions?

Suggest a complete tune up including carb and filters. Make sure distributor advance is working as they sometimes freeze up.

Does it cough or spit? Does it tend to go to the side opposit the fine engine at WOT? Thet used to have resistors to the bridge that cut the RPM in half. That is why I asked if it is running with the other stright on the water it may be in the tack.

Could be the throttle cable is loose and not pulling the carb all the way open

The first thing I would check is the fuel filter then the fuel pump. If the engine is running smoothly then it sounds like it is being starved for fuel.
