[QUOTE="sixgun86, post: 277695, member: 5345"] Pop the cowl and turn your throttle back and forth. Look for the linkage that goes to the carburetor. When turning the throttle look at the carb and notice the butterfly valve moving inside? Or last linkage to the carb if there is an intake cover blocking your view? You need to determine if the linkage is opening this butterfly valve all the way. To do this push down on the linkage closest to the carb to see if it can be opened any further than the throttle allows. If so you need to adjust it out so you can reach WOT by turning the tiller handle. 10mph w/ 400lbs on a 6hp is a good lick. I'd be happy with those results. [/QUOTE]
