[QUOTE="Incahiker, post: 182846, member: 4777"] It ran like crap before I cleaned out the carb. I wouldn't idle for very long and just puttered out. Now it idles fine. So you think the motor is over loaded? I thought that it should still be screaming at full thottle even if it can't get a boat on plain, but I am new to outboards so I may be VERY wrong. To me it just seems like it should be doing more then it is. it is only me and the jon boat (probably 125 lbs) and it would get on plane for a second when messing with the throttle but then bog down to running like the throttle was set to midpoint. Hmmm... [/QUOTE]
