Well i've read some posts on here saying that this particular motor aint so great.. BUT it was free and Does run (on choke or half choke) and compression is good so i'm hoping to get it runnin right so i can put it on my flat back canoe.

Problem is it wont run OFF of choke. About 1/4 to half it'll run but wont accelerate. Once i kick choke off, it idles up REALLY FAST..then dies.. not starting again untill i re-choke it..then i must HURRY UP and put it at about half throttle..thus running poopy again. So what gives? :confused: i've cleaned carb twice now, Reeds look to be just fine, tank is clean, along with petcock. Float doesnt seem to be sticking shut? What do yinz think? i know everyone isnt very keen on this motor but hell..for free.. beats buying one! lol Can yinz help me out?

Thanks much in advance for any info anyone has..

-Zac
