1985 evinrure 8hp won't run above idle. I have replaced the fuel pump, cleaned the carb, checked the float level, blew air through all openings, no gunk anywhere, checked all of the fuel lines. No air leaks, spark from both plugs. The engine will not come above idle without coughing and sputtering using the tiller throttle or by manual operation of the carb without advancing the spark. Inside of the engine looks clean at the reeds, not a lot of carbon on the plugs, compression is good. I only use this motor as a kicker and it has low hours. Oh yea clean fuel and new filter/seperator. I'm at a total loss for what to look for next, ignition? timing slip?? carb??? stuck reed????
Don't want to pay the evil shop labor for troubleshooting.
Thanks Phil
