[QUOTE="LaqueRatt, post: 507963, member: 32586"] I like to do things on a budget, because I get tired of stuff and resell it. Like to get my money back. So I rarely buy a kit for a carb, but what I have had happen before is having to clean it more than once because it's real easy to miss something using the hose it down with carb spray and blowing it out method. It's always a good idea to put a kit in I suppose, pull those weird plugs out to make sure you get it perfectly clean, but if you got the time and don't mind pulling the carb more than once might as well try the cheap method first. Just my opinion and likely a not too popular one. I agree with the rest it sounds like a carb problem. If not I'd take a good look at those coils. I had a coil that worked great until the engine warmed up. Drove me nuts until figured it out. I'll add I'm far from an expert on boat motors, but have been messing with small engines since I was a snot-nosed kid. [/QUOTE]
