have a 88 spl motor it was running fine all of a sudden it wouldnt throttle up so i stared to tinker around with it and found if i turn the primer solinoid to primer it would get up on plane but as soon as i put it bacvk to run it would not stay there. if i leave the primer valve pointed to the prime position she runs will hith full throttle but wont hold an idle.<br />i under stand its not ment to hole idea in the prime position but if i dont have it in the prime position a can get up on plane ,for that matter i cant get passed 2000 rpm. any ideas<br />thank you Kenny

icecolled,<br /><br />You have an air leak in the solonoid. You can buy a rebuild kit from any John/Rude dealer.
