motor not accelerating

[bassin08]

hi guys,i don't know alot about my outboard but i have a 77 evinrude 6hp 2 stroke it ran great the first 3-4 times i went out then i hit some rocks and rattled it pretty good after that when i accelerate it it boggs down both in forward and reverse and stalls out i checked the housing and prop,the prop is scraped a little but the bottom looks good what could it be?thanks for all the help

Re: motor not accelerating

Sometimes a sudden and sharp jolt like that will screw up the needle valve under the float in the carberator and even the float itself. You should also check the fuel line connection on the motor.

in all my years, i have never heard this " Sometimes a sudden and sharp jolt like that will screw up the needle valve under the float in the carberator and even the float itself"

bent prop shaft, or drive shaft. could be coinsidence of a dirty carb. also check compression and spark.
