bought a long block off of CME,great guys to work with,but as luck would have it (bad) sent the wrong rotation engine ,found that out a little to late had everything put together ready to install all the way up to the distributor didn't slide into place so tore it all down and sent it back. got the right rotation one back installed it took her down to the river and by the way i did rebuild the carb, boat was sitting for 4 years and the carb was pretty bad . couldn't get it to idle below 1500r's timing was on.and as i tried to get it lower it would just die off. plus it was hard start again. It seems to be sucking to much air from somewhere . and i did put all new gaskets on . any ideas thanks

Try spraying carb cleaner or WD40 at suspicious spots around carb base & manifold joints. The RPM will change when you hit the leak.

I'm no carb guru but did you try to adjust your idle mixture screws? Also did you pull a vacuum reading that would be a good indicator of a leak.
Which boat got the new power?
