SHEEDAISY Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 the carb needs to be cleaned . our 25hp was doing the same thing , turned out it had trash in the carbs . josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 right. seems like the bowls might have some shit in them. clean out your carbs and then tell us if it doesnt get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
