So to your question “how I ruined it” I’ve been trying to go faster and louder so I got the KG7 it was going good tuned up finally got all the gunk out of the tank after more than few cleanings the carburetor kept getting clogged. So next was the quickie and the quince exhaust pipe I found the pipe before the quickie. Put the pipe on made new gasket looked ok. Put it in the lake it starts right up and leaking around the gasket so I let it run down the lake for a minute or less thinking new gasket needs to get seated or something and it stopped leaking. Game on! Throttle down! Sounds great! The guys at the boat launch were quite surprised when I started. Run around the lake for a bit 5-10 minutes starts sounding funny skipping or hesitating like rrrrrskiptin then go I look back and the motor is hot! I turned back the docks skipping and popping the motor slowed the stalls. So that’s why I think I ruined it.
