"My 8hp Honda starts well, idl
"My 8hp Honda starts well, idles well and runs at low, med, high speeds well. The (intermittent) problem is when I attempt to accelerate from a lower to higher speed the engine hesitates and sputters, sometimes for almost a minute before it manages to accelerate to the requested speed. (very annoying when docking) I cleaned the carb twice, changed the gas, changed the fuel filters and changed the spark plugs. When this occurs I tried to pump the fuel ball with the thought that the engine may be starved of fuel, however this does not help.
One observation: when I pump the fuel ball hard there appears to be some leakage at the fuel line connector. (I have a new connector on order)
Anyone have further ideas?"
