the engine runs perfect , but after i come to a stop and try to go again the engine bogs down and stalls if i dont back off throttle , takes a few min of pumping throttle to get her going slowly , then it will snap out of it eventually , but , i have done the fuel pumps , plugs , wires,

im going to buy a new carb rebuild kit for it , and gaskets , casue i heard that the new gas eats up the older gaskets , but im not sure that will fix the problem ?

please give me some ideas on whaty could cause this , by the way it dosent do it when i throttle up out of gear, only when in gear ?

thanks in advance

What size is your motor?

It bogs down due to the load put on it.

Will spraying pre mix into the carb throats pick it back up? Choking it? Pumping the fuel primer bulb?

Im sure a carb rebuild and bath is in your future.
