This motor starts fine Idles like a purring kitten, but sometimes when you take off is only comes up to about half power. If you put it in nuetral and manually throttle it at the motor is revs up fine. We had it out two weeks ago first &second time we took off, half power at WOT, third time took off great came up on plane. 4th time back to half power. I'm thinking could it need decarbing with tuner spray? Could it be a coil problem? Any suggestions would be appreciated. It will probably go to the shop for a through check up this winter. I was just trying to remedy it for a few more trips yet this month!

Thanks Guys!
