  • Backfire/cough/sneeze

    1988 Yamaha 115ETXG that seems to have a backfire or something out of the water. In the water it runs fine at low rpms but when I give it better than 75% throttle it Boggs down and eventually does, then it is very hard to get restarted and will not stay running. Things that have been done:

    - checked for spark- it’s good
    - cleaned carbs- don’t know if I cleaned them good enough
    - checked compression- all cylinders between 118 and 120
    - changed fuel hose from tank to bulb
    - changed fuel/water separator
    - checked the screen/removed screen on fuel pickup in tank
    - drawing a blank on what else to do. Any help much appreciated.

    I have a video but not sure how to get it on here, I’m tech stupid.
