I totally submerged my 1952 5 hp Scott Atwater on the weekend <br />(portaged into a lake with a canoe). It was running pretty much <br />wide open when it went in. I pulled the carb and intake plate. <br />Rinsed out the tank, crank housing with mixed gas. Lots of <br />pulls and it runs BUT...<br /><br />It won't open up and get full throttle any more. It will idle <br />or get medium speed when under load. It will rev up good when <br />out of the water. Also will not idle under half throttle <br />(stalls), needs lots of choke to start it.<br /><br />I just had this running after storage for lots of years.<br /><br />Excellent motor...got me home and finished the fishing trip. <br />Never caught so many Walleye in my life.<br /><br />Any help on what may be giving me grief with the lack of power?<br /><br />Neal in Canada.
