I have a Honda 5 hp on my 17 and yesterday she started up on the first pull and ran real nice for about 10 minutes then she lost power and died. I realized she was not getting fuel and I had to continually pump the bulb to get her gas. The vent cap was open and we had fresh fuel. Every year the engine is maintained by the Honda dealer and she had new fuel filter, they cleaned the carb and do whatever is needed to insure a smooth running engine. I spent about $250 this past winter to update some parts, new plug, winterizing etc. I then noticed the throttle would not move past the start position. I could get it to the start position and move her back down to the slow position but I could not get her to throttle up. Any ideas on why she would not suck fuel and what could be preventing the throttle for moving?
