I have a problem with a Seahorse ETL7077. Starts and idles in gear or out of gear with no problem every time. Accelerate and it will die, if accelerated in small progressive movements the motor will stumble along, seem to pick up and then be fully responsive. It will run no problems for as long as required, if it is stopped and started within 5 minutes the motor is still fully responsive. If you stop for anything longer than that 5 minutes the motor will do the same thing die on constant accelaration or will stumble and pick up slowly with slow progressive accelaration. The motor has been serviced, new plugs, compression is good, ignition good.
I have put a kit though the fuel pump, replaced the fuel line, replaced all the fuel hoses between the motor body and each carbi ( thinking it may be sucking air) any ideas?

Re: Johnson Seahorse ETL70

Thanks for that!
Reading all the posts it seems that this is a constant problem for this motor?
Is there a additive that you can use to clean the jets?
