Post GTR 35 Engine Problem
When i take off motor acts normal as soon as it gets a load on it motor bogs down and will only turn 3200 rpm and misses alot. Out of the water motor will turn up to 4,000 rmps then starts missing and back fireing. Any idea what the problem is? I am thinkg the high speed jet in carb is clogged. Just put a new fuel line and filter on.

B&S issue not a Gator-Tail.

Sounds like your carb needs to be cleaned since you just changed the fuel lines.

Was it doing it before you messed with the fuel lines?

If it's backfiring on trailer of course it's going to backfire on the water with a load. You may be shorting out or arching out?

Assuming you have 0 air leaks around all connections & fittings I'd check that VERY close before pulling apart the carb & cleaning it. Just my $0.02. Wait for more the mechanical guys who have built handfuls to chime in.
