i took off both carbs and after inspection i looked at the black thing on bottom of the carb where the line hooks into. i couldnt blow thorugh it. and the other was bad but not at worse as that one. could that be why it will start but wouldnt accerlate in the water or die when throttle was engauged. thanx. :p

Had the same problem. Cleaned with no results. Went to an auto parts store and picked up some carb dip. You need to remove all rubber and cork,if any,seals and gaskets. Let them sit,in a bucket or bowl completely covered, over night and you won't believe how much a good "CLEANING" will miss. Good luck and hope this works for you.

Try some basic troubleshooting, TA.<br /><br />What happens if you pump your primer bulb when the engine tries to die?<br /><br />What happens if you squirt some fuel into the carbs?<br /><br />What happens if you pull plug wires?<br /><br />What make, model and year is your engine?
