I've got a '83 Honda 200e. Idles ok, sputters once in a while in neutral, but idles perfect when its warm and in gear. The problem is that it starts to bog at about 2/3 throttle (any gear). I' ve been running some SeaFoam in the tank to try to help it. Is it just a dirty carb that needs a rebuild or is my carb mix off???? Any tips?

Thanks!!

What does the spark plug look like? Have you tried a new one?

Hey my 1982 Big Red did the same thing, For $20.00 dollars I bought a card kit off ebay. Took an old transmission pan took the carb apart cleaned the hell out of it 1 hour later reinstalled it , runs like new. Just pay close attention when you take it apart to clean all the little holes. I used a baggy tie wire. Good luck
