Engine idles fine but will kill after accelerating. I have had it into a local shop where they replaced the plugs and ignition stator with no change. They wanted to rebuild the carbs next but I took it home to do myself. Prior to taking it in, I replaced the fuel pump with known good pump (no change). I just rebuilt all 4 carbs and no change. They were pretty clean and I noticed nothing alarming when cleaning them out.
Some other things that have been replaced are:
1. fuel line bulb
2. oil check valve (tested bad - was allowing fuel to flow back to oil reservoir)
3. had compression tested and all 4 cylinders tested good.
4. impeller
I dont see any leaks in the engine compartment but have noticed a small amount of fuel in the water around the exhaust.
Is it possible the engine is getting too much fuel? How do I check for this?
