Re: Runs Like Crap .... Brooks, bad fuel? Did you notice any improvement after swapping fuel filter? They can get clogged up if you got a batch of bad gas. Start simple first.

Re: Runs Like Crap .... You could have one of the wires chafed where the tilt / trim start & forward switches are. I got one of my wires pinched in there and noticed mine had worn down to the bare wire was grounding out causing the motor to miss. You can check those easy buy removing 2 bolts and nuts.

Re: Runs Like Crap .... glad to help you may also put a little liquid electric tape on the boots bought at any auto parts stores on it for the time being is also helps on new boots cause it keeps the sunlight off of them which they dryrot from ultra violet light.
