Hi all,
I just bought a 7.5 HP Ted Williams outboard from a pawn shop. I got it real cheap cause the owner did not want to play with it due to a small problem. The motor starts fine and idles on or off gear but after giving throttle on gear it just stalls. I'm fairly experienced on 2 stroke engines after playing years with mopeds but I'm not that familiar with outboards. I figure the problem may be just as easy as cleaning the carb but I would appreciate other ideas what could cause this or info if someone has had the same type problem and solved it.
