Try firming up the primer bulb just before "throttle up". If it improves performance, its a fuel starvation issue:<br />>plugged filter<br />>poor tank venting (try with filler cap loose)<br />>weak fuel pump<br />>kinked hose<br />>air leak at fittings or connectors<br />>primer bulb valves<br /><br />
HEY!!! he's back!!! did you recently clean the carb? sometimes you remove this junk from the jet and it for some reason cuts out on exeleratoin. Try a smaller jet
MartyMart,<br /><br />I have the exact same problem on a 81 Johnson 90. If you find the answer, please let me know.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />aburkes@legendaryinc.com
see my post on the evinrude 140. Exactly the same problem after a rebuild.<br /><br />Not quite fixed yet but it is pointing to carb and jetting.<br /><br />NG
