[QUOTE="littleblueboat, post: 327069, member: 12602"] Ok, didn't have much time to play with the motor tonight but I figured out a few things. The compression is 92 in both cylinders, is this good or low?? I think part of the issue is the throttle control cable and throttle handle, I think the housing is limiting the handles motion and not allowing it to go full throttle, I will be taking this apart and checking it in detail on Sunday. I have been reading about this carb cleaning method of using seafoam in the mix along with spraying it into the cylinders after removing the plugs. Have you tried this, does it work? Is it worth the effort? It does sounds a lot cleaner with new plugs and the proper gas oil mix... [/QUOTE]
