[QUOTE="Incahiker, post: 182856, member: 4777"] Already took the carb apart and soaked the crap out of it. Blew everything out with carb cleaner and compressed air. I do not believe it to be the carborator because after I cleaned it, it looked brand new. It is odd that in idle it revs up just fine, but in forward gear it only goes to mid point just fine, then bogs when you go past that..... I guess I will be buying a new spark plug, hose, and fuel filter and see if that does it? I don't really know. My 4hp merc only has one cylinder, and as far as I know it is firing just fine. I read the service manual and it said that with any prop I should be getting full throttle with boats up to 500 lbs. After that then change the prop to proper sized boat. My boat only weighs 125 lbs and I weigh 195, so I don't think that I am even close to over loading the motor with any prop that is on there even with the motor weight. [/QUOTE]
