Hello all im new to this board and am looking for some help, i just got a motor like this and it is supposedly rebuilt, it looks it too, i have done the whole half throttle thing for 20 hours already, and i seem to be having a problem, when in drive, i will gas it all the way and it will run like crap, but if its only half way upit runs ok, also if i pull the throttle all the way back till it wont go anymore it cuts off, im trying to figure out why this happens? cause it bites to take 20 mins. to get from one side of the lake to the other! <br /><br />I use a 50:1 gas mix and have a new tank tube and bulb the fuel pump is new and the carbs are supposedly rebuiltany help thanx

jj - Welcome. If you bought this motor from a shop I would let them fix it under the warranty. Else start with a compression check & post the results here. What do the plugs look like? Your description fits a fuel delivery problem (eg carb adjustments or was not set-up properly on the rebuild).

ok as soon as i get a chance tonight i will go out and check the sreial # and do a comp. check to let you all know what the results were.<br /><br />im willing to bet it has somthing to do with the carb though cause i dont think the old man i got it from really cared if the carbs were adjusted or not. i think he was more interested in getting the thing traded to me for my old merc. o well like i said i will let you all know tommarow thanx
