[QUOTE="inlovewithsurfin, post: 331786, member: 9011"] i am a married man now! haha... thank you for the congrats! i have been really happy with the engine! with two people and all fishing gear she pushes the boat 16mph. it has been reliable up until recently... i fished a bass tournament and in the excitement of weigh in i didnt lift the motor up before taking the boat out of the water. needless to say the one time i didnt lift the motor is the one time the motor hit the ramp coming out of the water and broke the motor mount which is part of the middle housing. so i rigged it all back together with a heavy duty strap and its back to normal. except now i am having running issues? it doesnt like to run at full throttle. revs up and down like it is starving for gas? i cleaned the carb (wasnt dirty at all) changed the spark plugs and put it back together... still does it! now i am thinking its the fuel pump or the primer bulb? when i pump up the primer bulb it runs great for a short time and then goes back to running like crap again. i am guessing either the fuel pump isnt doing its job or the primer bulb has gone bad and is not keeping the fuel flowing like it should? the seats are the cheap walmart seats and i couldnt be happier with them! very sturdy and comfortable!
