[QUOTE="perchjerker, post: 411126, member: 20605"] I had that exact motor (mine was a 2004) with the exact same problem there was a small bit of plugging in the carb What it did (I do this on small motors sometimes when they act strange) is start it in your driveway with water connected to it, let it warm up Then, give it full throttle and while it is revving up put the palm of your hand tight over the air intake of the carb. Just do this briefly, it will create a ton of vacuum in the carb and if you are lucky it will clean out the passage that is plugged. This worked for me after a few attempts. Its just an old trick we use on small motors. Might not help but its worth a try [/QUOTE]
