Hi,

Pls check for the presence of fuel on the three (3) Solex Twin Sidedraft carbs (if original and these are the ones installed). Thereafter, pls check the fuel pump and the fuel filter.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

SOURCE: bogs down on acceleration

buy 2 fuel filters. buy can of SEAFOAM at parts store. use 1 f filter to replace old one(you'll probably see old looking gas, with an odor).Pour SEAFOAM into tank. fill up with PREMIUM gas. after about 100 miles change out fuel filter 1 last time..add SEAFOAM every 3-5000 miles and you should be fine. the ethanol in the gas turns to goop and adds water to your fuel, and puts carbon on your valves and through out your emission and fuel system. The ethanol will be alright as long as you follow these instructions. and the SEAFOAM will keep you from having line freeze up in the cold months ahead, and will give you better gas mileage. good luck.

Why does my 1999 90 horsepower johnson idle but bogs down when accelerating

if this is a 2 stroke and went under water the problem may be damaged reed valves on the inlet side of the crankcase. Working all right when the air flow is low but do not seal of properly at rpms.. Suggest that you have an accredited outboard specialist look at it.

My 88 toyota camry wont accelerate when i step on the gas pedal

tests:

cruise at say 45mph ok?
if i accelerate , it bogs then catches up?
if i accelerate, it bogs and never catches up?
if i go WOT, wide open throttle it has full power up a hill after the bog?

these test , are the KEY tests.
this tells me what is wrong.
i hope the car is tuned up, if not , why no? the 60k mile done?

The car was running fine, it hesitated once, then about a half a mile later it began to have no power wnd when I gave it gas it would bog down. Then it died and would not start. I have got it to start...

it sounds like your fuel pump may have gone out disconnect the fuel line at the fuel filter or the fuel rail which ever is easier to get to, then try to start the car if fuel does not spray from the line you will know that it is the problem.

Truck starts but bogs down when trying to give it gas, no power at all won't even go up the drive way, it will idel for about 30 seconds then die

Sounds like a vacuum leak, check all the lines for cracks or one of them might not be seated all the way.
