I just took apart and cleaned the carb on my old Mercutry 4.5 horse. Before doing this,the gas line feeding the carb was rotten and was leaking. But even with the line leaking although motor wouldn't idle well, it alwasy ran good once the rpm's increased. I got a new gas line, and cleaned the carb and assembled it last night. The motor starts fine, but I can't get it to rev high. At full throttle it just bogs at a low rpm. Does anybody have any suggestions for a first timer.<br /><br />Thanks

If it ran alright a high speed before you worked on the carb then you should double ck your work
