Went on ride today and the starboard engine wouldn’t go past 9k rpm but the port would wind right up, anything known to cause this? It has 204 hours on the motors . Previous owner said he serviced it before he stored it but I’m going to do plugs and fluids anyway for piece of mind.
 
You have a bad spark plug or connection to the plug. Pay attention not to overfill the the dry sump. Checking oil level with the sump dipstick can be done while running at idle or right after shut down.
