[QUOTE="Incahiker, post: 189500, member: 4777"] Alright guys, pretty much pin pointed my problem on my motor. I know a lot of people will pull the choke out to see if it is running too rich. Well when I do that my motor boggs down even more. So I did the opposite, I closed the fuel supply off, and for about 10 seconds my motor is running incredible, it is screaming at a high rpm and I am running at 10 mph in my 15 foot tracker (ya, I know it's not that fast, but it is way faster then it was, lol. So obviously the motor is running way to rich. Also, when it is running there is a lot of fuel being spit out of the front of the carb where it breathes the air. I had already taken the carb out twice, cleaned the snot out of it, and checked the float twice. Do you think the fuel pump is faulty. It is a 1989 4hp mercury made in Japan. [/QUOTE]
