    Batteries low voltage help sailfish 274

    Sorry I didn't describe correctly. After rough turn over and it has started it runs smooth. Upon throttle up to 1000-1500rpm the rpms waver and bounce and loose rpm power back down to 700 rpm and it runs smooth again at those lower rpms. Almost like turbo charger is trying to engage but can't ?

    good eye but those are factory lights and what you think is colored glass is actually black block out plastic. The colored glass is pointing outwards on both. Although I can see how it looks that way from pic.
