I think we may have sorted the problem.Inially we checked the manifold and found that despite having had a replacement not that long ago,but before my ownership,it still needed a replacement sleeve in one of the exthaust outlets.Apparently the earlier work had been substandard.However we contiued to exprience problems,we then discovered the carbs were flooding badly,which would explanepoor starting and depleted perfomance.A clean out change of points and fuel filter now she runs like a dream. Has anyone experienced these kind of probs?

My 1988 25 has a Volvo 151 petrol with 280 outdrive, we find she can only manage around 10 kts at 5000 revs.Should I expect a little more.Appreciate opinions. Ian
