I picked up a motor for my local sailing club (used) and I think I'm paying for my good deed. The motor is VERY temperamental. Starts and idles fine but needs a very slow steady hand to throttle up and even then, many times it bogs down and sometimes stalls.
Some googling pointed me to a few links where owners had success re-jetting the main jet, replacing the (apparently) undersized jet with a compatible one from an F25 of same vintage.
Not sure I'm a big fan of that approach but multiple stories point to this actually working.
My first thought was, would a cleaning of the main jets not be a more prudent approach?
Any of you have similar tales of woe with this engine?
