Clogged main jet? Did you just clean the insides, or did you take the carb
apart, pull out the needle and seat (or any other rubber/plastic), and soak
it in carb cleaner?

Hello all

I have a 3hp force/mariner outboard, 10 years old, 2 stroke. Has
worked very well for the 2 years I've owned it, but recently developed
a problem:

The outboard starts fine, idles fine, but when I go to rev it beyond
1/3rd or so throttle it dies. I have cleaned the insides of the carb,
cleaned the tank and the fuel line and replaced the spark plug.

The problem seems to rectify itself for a few seconds if I put the
choke on momentarily....

I am running a 1 in 75 oil mix.

Any ideas?

Best regards

Simon Marshall
