I have I believe a 90's vintage 25 hp 3 cylinder. WOT unit runs straight true and normal. At cruise60% - 80% just fine.
IF I back off to an idle from full speed or cruise the engine slows down and stutters a bit and dies.
If I drive for about 1 - 3 minutes just above an idle it will be fine then suddely just stop. After I need to choke and sometimes pump the gas bulb(desperation) then it runs (idle) but will die as I raise the throttle. If I hit it wot it will take off and run however getting it to run above idle 10 - 50%, and stay running is impossible. I got it three years ago and thought originally it was a fuel issue I had an older 10hp tank and fuel line on it. then didn't use it for a year. This year new tank and fuel lines, plugs, same problem as before but might be somewhat worse.
Fuel pump?
about ready to trade up...
