Thank you in advance for any help it is greatly appreciated.
The engine runs fine all day long as long as you stay below 35 mph but if you take it to 40 or more it will run fine for a few seconds and then slow down as if you came off the throttle and then if you ease up off the throttle it will kick back in again or if you squeeze the primer ball you will get a short burst of the engine kicking in.
It is acting as if something is being sucked up against an intake area when under heavy load. It also seems to hesitate when plowing at 8-9 mph (like under load.)
What I have replaced so far is the pick up tube and check valve on the gas tank, the primer ball, the water fuel separator and bracket and all the fuel lines going from the tank to the filter on the side of the motor.
I was wondering if a bad fuel pump would do this or if a particle in the fuel pump could cause this and can they be taken apart and cleaned.
Also wondering if a particle in the carb bowls could cause this.
On a very rough day I took it up to 40-42 mph and it seemed like it was trying to do the same thing but I would hit a wave and it would keep it going but later that day when it was smooth I could not keep the 40 mph speed she would slow back down until I let off the throttle and go back up to around 33-35 and she would run fine.
Suggestions please
Thanks Again,
