I also have a problem getting my motor to run wide open when under a load. It will start, idle, and run to 3/4 throttle just fine, but when cracked wide open it dies off. Engine does not sound like it is missing, just acts almost exactly like 3/4 throttle is full, and full throttle is past full and on the way down again. I am very new to outboard engines, but this one was cheap and will be a good one to learn on. Any ideas on things to check will be appreciated. Also, the plugs after running full wide open, one is a nice honey colored, the other is a bit darker, and a little wet. I do mix my fuel a touch richer than what is recommended. Recommended 50 to 1, mixed about 60 to 1. Thanks in advance guys.<br /><br />Russ
