Hi All,<br /><br />New guy here...<br /><br />Engine is having trouble holding idle speed. Sneezes and quits. It will start without any problems as long as I do my normal choking routine. It will also start fine when warm without choking it.<br /><br />Will run and Cruise once it gets going, but will lose RPM's intermittently & and then increase RPM's again. Sounds like it cuts in and out. It will also frequently stall out when trying to shift into gear - I find myself having to goose the throttle so it will not stall. This is not a solution, and I do not want to cause irreparable harm. The engine has been great and has been running great all year until 2 weeks ago when I added 40 gallons of fuel and also added two bottles of Ring Free - It seems to me that is when things started turning bad. <br /><br />After running it for a few weekends, I decided to "Troubleshoot" I removed Fuel water separator, and dumped into Jar - 90% Gas 10% watery crud. I replaced and ran for a few hours - removed and inspected contents - 100% pure fuel - I do not think that this is it.<br /><br />I replaced plugs - no change in Performance.<br /><br />I added 35 Gallons of fuel (this time w/o Ring Free) and still no change in Performance.<br /><br />2 years ago, had a Carb cleaning done by the Shop, and it solved similar problem - I suspect that I have dirty carbs - <br /><br />I will be taking it to the Mechanic at this point - Any input from the Forum experts?<br /><br />Thanks!!!
