Re: Goodyear See Bee 025-3564

Just a follow-up to all the advice I have been given on the See Bee engine. I was able change the mixture of the gas to 16:1 and I turned the carb shut off valve all the way to the left and then primed the engine till I started seeing a little gas on the surface of the water. Two pulls and the engine was running. So I putted around the lake for about 30 minutes and the engine seemed to sputter a bit but I would adjust the mixture and it would smooth out. But for sure, the engine ran 30 minutes and everything seemed somewhat normal.

However, my issues are that everything worked fine until I moved the the throttle to the right past the start position. When I did so, the engine would sputter and die. So I would move the throttle back to the start position and re-fire the engine. So as long as I remained at or below the start position, I was good to go. I tried adjusting the carb shut off valve and mixture settings but nothing really helped the situation.

My hunch is that either I have a dirty fuel filter or a carb setting is not set correctly. Anyone have any suggestions or theories as to what I was experiencing or what I should do next?

Thanks!
