Bassin-Yakin

I have a Briggs and Stratton 5hp motor for my jon boat, I bought it used last year. The motor will start right up runs fine, but will not idle lower than half throttle... this is a big problem when I shift from Neutral to drive because you are supposed to shift with the throttle way down and I have to shift with the throttle more than half way open.... The throttle has a mark on it where you are supposed to put it when you shift from neutral and the motor shuts off each time I try to turn the throttle down...... any help would be greatly appreciated and I need to get this thing running smooth in the next few days..... Thanks in advance....

Well.. went to BPS today for the Spring Classic and picked up some pretty good deals... I was walking around and had a pack of YUM plastics in my hand and one of the pros were walking around and said all YUM products 1.98 today.... and I said everything??? he said yep all YUM plastics SO here is what I got: YUM ribbontail redshad worms YUM Dinger Green Pumpkin/Chart tail YUM Buzzfrog YUM Wooly Bug YUM Wooly Hawgtail each pack was $1.98!!!! most of these are 4-5 dollar packs.. anyway I get to the front and they ring up regular price and the manager comes over and says these are not on sale, but go ahead and give them to him for that price..... anyway.. the guy in the YUM shirt was telling everyone that price and people were getting baskets full of YUM stuff for 1.98 a pack... the manager got on the radio and called back there immediately.... apparently there was a bin with YUM stuff that was on sale, but not all YUM products!!!!! Wish I had more money I would have really racked up.... anyway also got this stuff: (2)ZOOM Horny Toad Hooks Gamakatsu Shiner Hooks (I use them for wacky rig) XPS Drop shot weights Craw Rattle Trap Red Eye Shad (Sexy shad) (Sale for 4.44) Strke King Pro Model Crank (sale for 3.44) Bomber Square A (sale for 2.44) KVD Swimming Jig Spro Bronzeye Frog Got all this stuff and the YUM stuff for 50 bucks... Also picked up a Berkley Lightning Rod-SHOCK with the split grip for $44.... Overall a good day
