The stator was the problem.
RPM's back up to 5200 rpm.
Top speed about 36 mph


Mechanic tightened the friction screw in the throttle box, and the throttle now stays just fine.

I kept the aluminum prop on there too. It's an inch larger in diameter than the stainless, same pitch though.

Now the temps runing high again though (ugh)

The mechanic told me he'd look into it.
Overall seems like an honest guy.

$740.00 (yuck)

I'm happy though, she runs well.

I think binkie won this thread.

Thanks, for the replies.
