Trying to help out a friend with his square-nose. The engine starts up and runs, it idles fine, but as soon as you give it gas it acts like it is hitting a rev limiter or is in "limp-mode." The engine is stock except for an aftermarket F/A. Carb setting are L: 2.5 turns out, H: 1.75 turns out. Engine was running fine a week ago. Fuel lines are all correct, tank is venting fine, spark plugs are good, the engine is getting spark, and compression is good. The only thing I can't verify is the fuel delivery. It sounds like a carb problem, but I don't know where to start. I am sure the carb needs to be rebuilt as it is old and has not been rebuilt recently. I would like to try and swap out the carb with one off a running ski and see what happens, but none of the shops are open around here on the holiday.
I'll upload a video of what the engine is doing. Any ideas on what to check next?
Thanks
