Outboard motor problems

I have a 2009 yamaha 25 2 stroke thats not running right. The motor starts right up, idles good, but it will not run to its full potential. We you give it throttle it jus bogs and doesnt go wide open, but if you pinch off the gas line it will run perfect until it begins to run out of gas, and it runs perfect after you let go of the fuel line for a few seconds then it bogs back down. Ive soaked the carborator two times and cleaned it real good, any ideas on what else it could be? You can email me at deerhunter1266@yahoo.com thanks.

carb problems

If your fuel bulb is not allowing fuel to drain back into the tank or if you do not have a small hole in the fuel line then suspect internal carb problems.
Could be a bad fuel pump but I would start with running a very strong mixture of Seafoam mixed in with 1/2 gallon of gas.Pour the whole bottle in and let the motor run for about 10 minutes. Kill the engine and let this mixture sit in the engine for about 30-45 minutes.It will de-carb the cylinders in the motor and just may unclog whatever internal carb problems you are having.
If this does not work then a complete carb rebuild is in order.


BTW-Spraying carb cleaner into the carb throat does nothing for the carb.Just cleans the throttle plate and that's it.

Carbs

Still could be a carb issues especially if you use ethanol gas. Carbs will likely have to be taken down and all jets cleaned. It doesn't take much fowling to make it run like you described. I had it happen twice on a Yammy 115 2 stroke-especially if you let it set up any length of time.

Once you get it right, do whatever you can to avoid using gas with ethanol in it. If you can't, then make sure you use a good fuel stabilizer designed to treat ethanol gas.

Good luck

Ive changed all fuel lines and bulb, took the whole carburator apart took all the jets out and soaked it in carb cleaner for about six hours then shoved thin wire through all the wholes i could see and its still giving me the same problems
