Numbers of the transom mount.....217/58992 ser#151228

seems to have a carb problem...

i can get it to run for a minute and then it bogs out.....

the other carb was wasted so i switched it out with one off my old sears mower.

seems like its floodin itself out.

changed out carb to one of a similar motor but a 3 h.p.(identical)

still fills up bowl then just starts pouring out?????

the valve from the gas tank is busted so im wondering if i have to slow down the flow to carb?

Check for spark.Is the plug fouled/wet?If flow stopped perhaps now no gas?
