| Post subject: | motor started running like crap |
k so my motor has been running great ever since i got it. yesterday i took it out to go do some scouting and ended up trying to go thru some lillies that were extremely thick. i worked the motor pretty hard and had to turn around and go back thru my cut. i got out and started going again another route and my motor started running like shi*. couldnt touch the gas cause it would kill. i had to putz back to the launch. is this just garbage in the carb? havent had time to clean it yet and the gas was only a week old and i have a fuel filter. any ideas would help greatly thanks |

is the motor modded at all? This same scenario just happened to a buddy of mine, took the Valve cover off his port starbard side and he had a push rod out of place. Were you over reving it alot? |

A bad push rod or anything valve train related more than likely wouldn't kill the motor when he have it gas. Sounds like a fuel problem. Him bogging the motor down and extra strain may have caused a peice of trash that was in the fuel line or carb bowl to break away and get into one of jets or needle and seat. Clean da carb! |
