[RBrannon]

Hello all..I am new here and have a big question I hope somebody might be able to help me with..<br /> I just had my 67 rude tuned-up a couple of weeks ago and the first time i put it on the water it ranexcellent except when I went to throttle it up it wouldnt hardly run above an idle.I checked and the cable was advancing the throttle like it should,I cant find a reason why it is doing this..<br /> Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Did you open the vent on the fuel tank?

Alcan,<br />I did have the vent open.When I first noticed the problem that was the first thing I checked.I just kills me tyhe motor is running like a champ it just wont throttle up..Me and my son took it out and cruised around the lake a about 5mph and it ran and started like a champ.<br />Thanks for you post do you have any other ideas what it could be..<br />Thank you,<br />Robby Brannon<br />Greenville S.C.

check the plugs sounds like one missing . it will run fine till you put in gear . if it has 2 carbs and one is clogged . it want put gass to one cylinder .that will let it run dry . even though itis not firing it will damage that cylinder. if you havent instaled new plugs do so .they may look good but looks can be deceving. i have a 33 1965 first time out had that probablem . papasage
