[QUOTE="danw77, post: 91198, member: 1642"] OK, so I didn't get as much time to work on it this weekend as I would have liked. I did manage to get it out on the lake with the kids. We gave it a good run, and it seems to be clearing up. I'll still pull the carb off and clean it, but I was able to get it to run forward/reverse/idle with no hiccups. Seems to be idleing a little low still, so i'll look into that. The longer it runs, the smoother it seems to get. It still won't run with the choke on though. I did get back in touch with the guy I bought it from and he told me that he didn't clean out the carb (could have sworn he said he did, but whatever). I'm hoping to at least get to pull the plugs in the next day or two and see what they look like. I'll post up some pics when I do. [/QUOTE]
