yamaha vmax 150 wont run. help

[philthethrill]

i've got yamaha vmax 150 that wont run over 2000 rpm. it idles ok when not in gear, but when in gear it will bog down and die. thought it was bad gas so i ran some gas treatment and fuel injector cleaner in it. it would get to 2500 rpm after that but still wont plane out. need help only other idea i have is drain all gas left in tank. any other ideas would be greatly appreciated before i have to take it to shop.

also i changed plugs, checked fuel/ water seperator (it looked fine), checked fuel filter (was clean).

a friend said sounds like could be lower unit, any info on checking it out please.

also a little more info.


i put motor in gear and can turn the prop by hand, it ratchets like it says its suppose too. but there is a hole rigt above vent and there is oil that comes out of it when i turn the prop. does this mean a bad seal in it?

thanks
