Glad to hear the Raker 22 worked so well for you. Do you have a tachometer?

You might check your tach setting.  5 pin stands for a 10 pole stator and 6 pin is for 12.  Not sure which you need but I had a neighbor that claimed his 140 ran 7200 in the mid 50's.  Impossible. That was a 19 OMC.  He had a 20 Raker which I bought.  It was a little steep for him.  Same boat.
