Hi, I have a 1986 90Hp Evinrude V4 that just quit on me, Motor was running really well and now it will start but on high rpm it quits. Motor starts, its idle fine but when I go to full throttle it loses power. I did check all 4 coils and the have good sparks, when the motor is on full throttle it will lose power then gaing some then loses again then gain some this is on full throttle. Any idea on what is wrong?<br />Thank you. <br /><br />PS: would it be fine if on full throttle I spray some carburetor cleaner or starting fluid thru the carburetor and see if it gains all the power? Would this do any damage to the motor or carburetors?<br />Thank you

dont spray starting fluid in it or carb cleaner. get the carbs cleaned and dont run it until. carb cleaner wont cut it, sounds like high speed jets stopped up.<br />very bad to run it like this!

Tank’s catfish, I will be cleaning both carbs tomorrow, any advise on what type of cleaner solution for the carbs. I guest I have to buy carburetor kit for both carbs. Is there anything I should do or buy?<br />Tanks
