1982 (I think) Mariner 15m
684C s 018599
It finally warmed up enough for me to stick the motor in a trash can today. It started up pretty easy. It ran well for a while, then seemed to start bogging down and smoking a lot. It eventually died. Started it again and it smoked bad, bogged down, and died.
I let it sit while I took apart the throttle linkages that have play in them. Started it again after I got it back together. It ran OK for a little while again, then started bogging. The last time I started it I took this video. That's with the throttle all the way up. Any less throttle and it would die.
I'm new to 2-cycle, but definitely not to carbed engines. I've tinkered with my Harley enough to know at least a little bit about how things work. Come to think of it, I guess I've never had one malfunction on me, though.
Where do I start? Carb kit? Plugs and gas are both brand new.
