Hi, long time reader and first-time poster....
I just got an engine which had been seized up but had some work done on it to get it going again. I can start it now with a few pulls, but once it starts and the throttle is opened a bit, the engine revs up too much, returns down after a while. It sometimes cuts out, but sometimes stays running, but when I put it in gear it cuts out after a few seconds. It is then much harder to start.
Any ideas as to the problem? I got this engine for free, so I would like to be able to get it running!
Thanks in advance for any help!!
