Hi Cowboy,<br />Is the throttle linkage moving at the engine when you are trying to rev it up? If not it's probly a broken cable.

You are not being very helpful, Mariner. We have to have information in order to suggest possible causes of your problem.<br /><br />Does the linkage open the carbs all the way? Does the throttle linkage advance the timing when you open the throttle?<br /><br />What happens if you squeeze the primer bulb? How about if you choke it?<br /><br />Short out each plug while it is running. Does each one cause rpm to drop? If not you have one or more dead cylinders.<br /><br />Let us know what you find.
