Maybe add a injector cleaner like Lucas or gum out injector cleaner.. before you fill it up.. if carbs varnished a little the fuel cleaner may help?? Then just run it get it cleaned out.. or pull carb or fuel pump if bad?? cause to me it sounds like it's starving for fuel.. that is if the gas is not bad? By the way you said you have to throtle it to keep it running.. then when you dropped the hammer it bogged and stalled.. from insufficient fuel or bad fuel.. wich could be the carb jets could be plugged or some thing like a fuel pump if it has one?? So iF It Not The Fuel Pump The INJECTOR Cleaner Will help..
Air in the fuel lines does that too. No amount of foam from the sea or otherwise will fix that. Mike is that a 2 stroke 90 with vro?
Yes it is Jon.
Whats the easiest way to post a video on here from my phone?
I had a problem like that with my motor. The plastic float bowl on the carbs warped at the gasket and let the carb suck air. Replaced with brass and problem solved!
good god!!!!! they using plastic float bowls now!? lmao for a long time now, they have made engines run so lean, it doesnt take much to flub them up. i had a push mower several years ago that i had to poke the jet hole out(just hole in float bowl bolt) every 4th or 5th mow. the gas seemed to jell up in the tiny little hole, and not enough suction to clear it.did you spay carb cleaner in it and poke out any passage holes you can get to, without taking it too much apart? i dont know how the new ones are put together, but this perfect example-- (skip to 3:30 in vid to see.)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5cxBMDezuU
2) I have been so busy after work every evening working on the boat, motor, garden, etc etc that I want to spend some evenings with my boy. Growing way too fast and need some bonding time. That kid means the world to me and now is the time to teach him what I know and just have fun.
