I have an FS80 I bought during the summer of 01. It's hasn't really been running too good for quite some time. It usually starts and idles fine. It "stumbles" on acceleration. When warm, it seems to get worse. Sometimes, it won't even rev close to it's potential.
Last spring, I took it apart and could find no problem. New plug, new fuel filter, carb looked good, no leaks I could see. Late in the fall, I took it in for service. They put in a new plug, new fuel filter, cleaned the card, looked for leaks, etc. It appeared to be a bit better, but I only used it twice before season end.
This spring, it was running worse than ever. On April 3rd, I lost my patience (good thing I'm not a real doc) and took it back for service. New this, new that, tried a new carb, and still wasn't running right. Tonight, the tech found the problem.
Any takers?
