I took my new little 14 foot fishing boat to the lake yesterday. Put fresh gas 50:1 in the tank and fired it up. Starting is a little sketchy as it does not seem to want to idle down. Motor revs out ok in the neutral position but stalls almost the second you put it in a gear. I did end up getting it to go, but it had to be held wide open. It would only go maybe 4-5 mph at best, and and letting off the gas any amount it stalled out. So question is, where do I start to get this power house going? The gas is fresh and the plug looks ok? Am I expecting to much from a 4 horse? Its just plain jane 14 aluminum boat with me 175 pounds and a 11 year old kid. Shouldnt it at least get up on a plane? Any help here is welcomed.
