Motor idles good in N but when in gear stalls out, seems higher when start up lever is raised. Put her into gear she runs for 40 secs or so the bogs out. Have to choke it a second then it will start right up. If I go between the N and drive it will stay running. I did this a few times and was able to put throttle and run. Although the motor sounded kinda funny, like bogged down a bit or muffled. Seemed to achieve the same top speed though. Any tboughts?
