This motor is going to be the death of me! Let's start out with the trouble I am having. I had the motor running decent with muffs at the house, thought I might need to do a little tweaking at the river to get it running like a champ. Well, I get to the river and crank the motor only for it not wanting to idle. I would have to crank the motor and rev it in neutral to keep it running, then put it in gear and give it all the throttle to get it going. Once going the motor seemed to be running off of one cylinder because it wasnt revving high and had no power. The motor would however keep running as long as you kept in the gas is just wouldnt run but about half power. Also when you get out of gas the motor dies off completely.
Now what all I have done to the motor:
-Pulled and cleaned carbs (even soaked them in basket)
-Took VRO system off and added regular fuel pump
-Redone all gas lines from tank back
-New plugs last year
-Checked spark on plugs (jumping back to block almost 1/2" on both plugs)
-Did old fashion compression test (Tried holding thumb over cylinder while cranking and pushed back on both)
So what does this sound like? Still fuel/carb problem or power pack/coil problem?
Thanks for all the advice ahead of time if I can give anymore information please let me know. Thanks again
