I have a gas MF 165 that I recently bought. When I try to throttle it up it bogs down. I don't really have this problem with the choke out. Also once the engine gets really warm it starts running OK (by really warm I mean after maybe 5 minutes). I replaced the plugs, plug wires, put a new carburetor kit in, set the proper value gaps, and checked the air filter. I checked the compression on each cylinder and they were all right around 120. I adjusted the timing by ear, but basically ended up putting it back where it was. I opened the gas line up at the carb. with it disconnected for just a second and it appeared to have a good flow. The only thing about the gas was I took the gas bowl off (to empty the sediments), when I put it back on and opened the value it filled really slow. If I loosened the bowl some it would start filling fast. I assume this is because the float had the needle closed in the carb. I did all of things mentioned above by myself and I'm by no means an expert mechanic, but I feel I did everything properly. The only thing I haven't replaced is the distributor cap, rotor, condenser, and points, but they all look good to me. I checked to make sure each plug was firing and that a plug wire wasn't crossed. My guess is that the problem is in the needle adjustments on the carb. After the new carb. kit I started both needles at 1 turn out. I think I adjusted them out to 1 1/2 on the idle screw and 2 on the power needle. I don't really know the proper way to adjust these.
Thanks in advance for any help.
