  • Power loss upon acceleration

    The motor was running great then I made a sharp turn and the motor lost power and died. I was able to start it and putt along but anytime I tried to accelerate it would bog down and die. The motor also began lto smoke heavily. Any ideas?

    Check for spark and compression, post your results.

      compression is 120 per cyinder and all have spark. Could I have a blockage in the fuel line and that is why it is smoking so heavy and does not have enough fuel to support acceleration?

        Don't know what engine you have but if it's a carb model then may need to remove and clean carbs and check VRO pump is working properly.
