Hi all, Ive got a 1999 4hp J4REEA, thats been sitting for a few years. I've replaced the water pump impeller and rebuilt the carb. Now I can get it to start but only at full throttle and it will sometime run okay at idle but then will bog down and die after 15-30 seconds. If i keep throttling it up I can get it to run for maybe 1-2 minutes before it bogs down and dies. I've adjusted the low speed needle to where I feel it runs the best but I still have the previous mentioned issues.
So I went inside to the high speed needle (feeling this is my issue) and there doesnt seem to be any real adjusting that, either in snug or its loose. Can anyone please give me ideas on what to check next. The motor feels like it has good compression, if anyone know the exact spec i can check that to make sure. Ill also link pictures of how I have the float set
