[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 364921, member: 7376"] I know it was mentioned that the carbs are clean, but I've run into occasions where they were squeaky clean to the naked eye, but some of the internal passages were not. Ultrasonic cleaning usually takes care of that. Occasionally it won't and in that case, sometimes drilling the brass plugs out of the main body and manually cleaning the passages will work (assuming one has a source for replacement plugs). It's easier; and if you pay a shop to do it, cheaper, to just replace the carburetors. Also over propped situations can cause the similar bog issue, especially with a 4 stroke engine which is more sensitive to propping. [/QUOTE]
