    Boatman, It sounds to me like the carb is adjusted to lean. If you got the motor to idle nice by adjusting it out, when you hit throttle to full throttle and it bogs out, bring throttle back to idle and adjust, turn idle adjustment screw to the left (richen) 1/8 turn at a time. Advance throttle to full throttle to see if it still bogs down. If it still bogs down repeat procedure. Idle circuit should run a little rich. Also when adjusting carb the motor must be in forward gear.
