[QUOTE="jig master, post: 196840, member: 5174"] In the original post I said that a buddy had already taken off the carb and cleaned it. Didn't look that bad. After reading the first few posts I took the boat out again this after noon after dumping a bottle of seafoam in the fuel tank for the heck of it. The engine again bogged down and would kill when I had it in forward and gave it WOT. I then restarted the engine and tried pumping the bulb while going WOT. This definitely helped and I was able to get the boat up on plane, although it started to bog again and I could not maintain WOT. The bulb pumping helped, so that seems like a fuel issue. One buddy said he thought the fuel pump was suspect. Another one thought it might be the stator. I am bringing it to an outboard mechanic tomorrow, but if I can't get it fixed for $100 or less I am going to sell the motor as is to a shop. I have a new 25hp yam 2 stroke that I am going to be putting on the boat either way. (well it's a 2009 yam) [/QUOTE]
