Running at half throttle

My Force 50 was misbehaving today, when pushed to full throttle, it only revved to about half throttle, and only topped out at about 15 mph instead of its normal 35. Could that be from not priming the fuel bubble each time I started the engine? When I checked the bubble, it felt solid. It was all tuned up this spring, only had it out 4 or 5 times. The gas was only a week old, so I don't think that was the problem. Maybe after I burn that out, it will do better on fresh fuel.

Re: Running at half throttle

Check that both sparkplug wires are attached.

Remove sparkplugs and examine, both should look the same.


Check for spark on both sparkplugs.
Sounds like it is only firing on one.
