I have a 2015 Honda BF20D electric start with power tilt. I replaced the fuel line from tank to primer bulb to engine, thermostat and put fresh gas in tank with treatment. Motor starts right up and is fine in neutral--idles, throttles up etc. As soon as I put it in gear it bogs down. I tried putting in gear while squeezing primer bulb and seems to run ok. The motor sat for about a year and a half. Anybody have any suggestions. The nearest Honda repair shop is 2 hrs away. trying to avoid that. I have a feeling it has something to do with sitting? When I replaced the fuel line I did not replace the primer bulb?
