I hijacked another thread a couple of days back. just bought this 01 lowe 180w w 00 evin ficht 115 on it that had been sitting for a while. day i bought it, it ran fine. couple of days later it woudn start after it bogged down running at wot. brought it home and put a bottle of seafoam in the tank and it fired right up.
So last nite i take it back to the lake and it runs fine at quarter, half, n 3-4 throttle; but running at wot i can make it only about 1/4 mile befor it boggs down n dies. it wont fire back up unless i pump the primer bulb at least a dozen times. help please.

While on vactation last week mine did same. Running at WOT then bang only running about 1500-2000 rpm. Boat guy traced problem to piece of silicone dropped n path of fuel. Runs like a champ now.

Could have a fuel lift pump going bad on it.
