Well i just got my outboard back from the mechanic and 6 weeks and 650 dollars later it's still running like crap....
The mechanic rebuilt the carb, replaced spark plugs and put new impellor in....
Now the engine will idle sorta but when i try to give it any throttle it bogs than dies. most i can give is slightly off idle...
Thought the tank or hose was bad so i replaced....still the same outcome....primer bulb is not going soft. have not pulled the plugs to look to see if they are wet or dry....he showed me the engine running in a tank and it didn't seem to have any problems.....
the only thing i didnt replace was the fuel fitting on the tank.....do these things go bad? i took it off and can blow threw it just fine with the needle pushed in.....
Any ideas?
