[QUOTE="who pooted?, post: 273783, member: 940"] Guys, 1960 18hp Johnson Seahorse-pull start/electric start-tiller model # FD-FDL14. I got a new carb kit, all hoses, and plugs done about a year and two months ago. Ran/idled fine then about 2 months ago i hit a log while WOT down in the bayou. Then the following is what's happening: Motor on initial start takes a couple of cranks with the choke out, and then will idle fine. I can get full rev in idle, but once i idle down to shift into forward the motor dies. I can get it to start while in forward gear, but sometimes it takes a few tries. Once I'm up and running i can go for a long while on WOT, but sooner or later the speed decreases from 24mph slowly decreasing to 12mph then eventually the motor dies. It does not spit or surge when this happens, it just does as described. After that happens i have to give it a good while (20-30 min.) of rest before i can restart it. I hope this is enough info, if not then let me know what else you need to help diagnose my problem. Thanks as always, Adam [/QUOTE]
