I take mine there. Just have to call them and set up an appointment. I called them today, they said they would not take it, even by appointment. Said they would have to work on it in the parking lot and they can't do it. Most of these lawn mower shops have worked on these mud boats before, after working on a few they make a policy to not work on them any more. I may try and call them again, but I have talked to them more than once about it. But I found some other shops, but that place does have a good reputation.

There isn't a place better than Plano power. Glen runs a good store. But my mechanic is damn good with small engines and big. If I had the time and my shop wasn't full id say bring it over.

Did you not have the same problem with your little motor? Yep, sure did, on my Momarsh 7.5hp, but the issue was much worse. $35 to rebuild carb, Garland lawmower shop, had to take motor off the boat or they would not work on it. But left the lower unit on it, they were reluctant to work on it.

I vote pay someone to fix it That is what I did. However...I know it idled like crap and would run fine under throttle. The guy replaced the fuel pump, my fuel line and removed the quick disconnect I had on the tank. I don't know which actually fixed the problem but I dropped him a couple hundred and was happy ever after It was some guy that worked in his garage that was a small motor genius...he either moved or isn't doing it anymore and I don't have his number. I asked one of the lawn guys that mowed who worked on their mowers. That was how I found him. I got a hunsky it was the quick connect

I've already told you waaaaay back when you first posted this..remove carb, drop bowl and clean it all, especially your pilot (idle jet) Takes all of 30 minutes. I give it a 2% chance it is your fuel pump and that's only because of Murphys Law. Quit jacking around and start turning wrenchs. Waaay over thinking this. And yes your motor is CDI.

Guy. Get on YouTube and find a demonstration of cleaning a carb. I think you think it's harder than it really is.

I asked one of the lawn guys that mowed who worked on their mowers. That was how I found him. I got a hunsky it was the quick connect Heard of a lot of problems with those. MM gas rules simply put: 1) quik-connect...get rid of it 2) ALWAYS carry a primer bulb..in case your fuel pump craps out or you break an inlet and/or outlet port off when busting thru brush. This will help you at least "mainline" fuel into your carb and you'll get home. You can thank me later for that one. 3) Seafoam or Stabil I've used both/...prefer Seafoam. But they both do the job 4) Add HEET to fuel when running on days below 32 degrees...carb icing is a biotch 5) change your fuel line every 2-3 years..ethanol eats the lining of it and it will break down into fine particles that will find their waypast your filter and into your bowl and make your float stick. As well as trash up your idle jet 6) If you are running an internally mod'd motor where your compression has been bumped up..ALWAYS run at least 93 octane. 7) Don't let gas "sit" more than a month...it will separate. Dispose of it and get fresh stuff 8) if you use a water separator remember to change the canister before each season 9) And for the love of God, quit calling me from the lake when you motor starts cutting out because you forgot to loosen the vent on your gas can. LOL Happens more than ya'll think

Seriously, last year took my carb off my 7hp longtail and tried to clean it, put it back on, started it and gas squirted everywhere, had to take it to a lawn mower shop.
But I will give it another shot, first I'm going to try that mechanic in a bottle, had 2 lawn mower shops tell me it is the best.

All there is on the carb is 1 hide clamp, that releases the carb from the motor 4 small Philips screws on the bottom, that releases the bowl from the carb 1 gasket and you can reuse it if your careful Unscrew the two jets, they just screw in and out. Clean em with break clean and the bowl as well Blow everything out with a compressor and reassemble
I bet it runs well after that
If u haven't just cleaned mine lasts week I would do a video for ya

No need to appease me, it is your motor and your trip back to the ramp. To answer your question, I don't know if it is your pump or not. I was relaying my experience on my last motor. I had the exact same symptoms you describe. We never got around to your pump. Is it mechanical or is it electric. Mine was mechanical. The alcohol will destroy all the rubber. The mechanical pump started a slow death at less than 50 hours. It made it extremely difficult to diagnose because it was such a slow death. I have not kept up with the carb issues and don't know if they (Factory) has recognized the problem and fixed it or not. If they have, then carry on. I switched to twin electric pumps and my life was much happier afterwards. If one pump quit, then you just flipped a switch and you got a new pump up and running.
It ran better than when it was new. I would imagine that was because it took so much head pressure to bring fuel that far and that high. I would also imagine the combination between the head pressure ( caused by length and height of fuel travel) and the alcohol wearing out the pump just made the motor suffer.
After I went 100% Sta-Bil I have yet to fave a fuel related issue. I have 4 Stihl chainsaws and a weedeater. I went to houston and bought 5 gallons of gasoline with no alcohol. I treated it with Sta-Bil. I replaced the carbs and fuel lines on all of these little engines. The only gas allowed in them is the stabilized alcohol free gas. We shall see the results in a few years.
