Have the above motor and am having some performance issues. The motor will run fine through full range. I'll stop to fish an area and then re-start to move and get sluggish results. It will surge and then run at only 75% of full RPM. If I punch it from idle I'll get some slight sputtering before it opens up. It will run @ 4000 rpm, run up to 5000 and then start to bog again. I've replaced the fuel filter and plugs. Have also checked compression and spark and all appear fine. I ourged all the old gas and re-filled the tank with fresh fuel. It runs fine at full load sometimes but is inconsistent. I plan to get it in to be looked at but could use some insight on possible issues.
We still have one hummingbird hanging around up here. Funny thing happened the other day. I heard a noise when I was on the phone and then when I was done about 5 minutes later, I looked out the window. I saw the hummingbird feeder was gone. I walked out on the deck and saw it laying on the ground. The thing that was so weird about it was that the top was unscrewed from the bottom and nothing was broken. I'm not sure what animal was able to unscrew the top off. Any guesses from anyone?
