Hello this is my first post, however this is not lawnmower related, i figured i would try my luck on here. I own a 2014 18hp dixie mud motor. I have had problems with lack of power to the engine, it would surge from half throttle to full throttle, i did some research and figured it was the governor. I moved the large governor spring in the slot to the right so it would open the gov up. After i did that i ran the boat and it was perfect, motor ran fine, it plained out etc.
(unaware it was raining)
The motor sat in the rain for about 5 minutes rite after i ran it. when the rain stopped it cranked up fine, but like before, the motor would surge from half to full throttle, but this time when i would shut it off the motor would make a quiet backfire out the exhaust.
My question is what could be causing this? Carb trash?
thanks for any help
pic of gov spring was before it was moved
