holy crap that's a loaded post.
maybe leaky crank seals letting air in even though the carb is closed.....

If it does not have an air leak then it could be a clogged I dle circuit.

what carb are you running? bn 38? or the 44?

 

[Golden boy550]

im pretty sure its a 44?its stock. is there maybe a carb adjustment that could help out cuz i no its probly not tuned..do u no the correct settings..like how many turns on which one?

those are only initial settings to start dialing with. you need to tie it off to a dock from the back of the tray in waist-high water with about 15 ft. of rope, pin the throttle and dial it in to see if that will fix it. if you can't get it to dial in that way, then look at something else being the problem. you need to put some weight in the tray when you're doing it to keep the pump submerged good.
