Check the spark plug.  Tells the fuel air mixture ratio.  Tan color is what you want.  A fouled plug....dark and or sooty will blow out (not spark) under heavy ignition energy requirement such as acceleration.  Example was late night bed roll traveling H-D Sporty rider who wanted to "impress" me (sitting on a V65 Honda---V4 of grunt) while waiting on him so I could pull out after he went by.  Yellow headlight......his regulator has croaked.....battery getting low on minimum ignition voltage level.  Predictable cough stumble, and misfire instead of hearing his shorty pipes go by.  Tailed him waiting for the death knoll.  6 miles later on a gradual uphill 3/8 mile long hill......he puked.....Naturally, I slowed for him to pull over and land so he could see with my headlight.......then give him a 1st gear 60MPH redline header romp.  Now, that is what is what it should sound like.      Gone.

Lots of info in the above short story.  Weak ignition will run ad idle but fail under load.  Fouled spark plug.  Ignition wiring rubbing on sharp metal edge and a partial insulation failure.....will only corona (ring of fire) under load.  Fuel air mix.....BOTH a right mixture and lean mixture will foul a plug.  Rich is obvious.  Lean mix gives a misfire and UNBURNED fuel to wet down the plug and then fail.  Mice.....remove air intake plumbing to give free air at the carb inlet.  Check air box and all plumbing for mouse house.  Fuel pump diaphragm getting hard....low fuel level in the carb  bowl.  Test bottle of gas for this test.   Last...............bad pump gas...getting bad here over non-national gas station buyouts.  My favorite station (always good gas for old Ford gas tractor and Grasshopper).  Station bought out.....didn't know.  Bought 8 cans of junk premium 93 and when used, the Grasshopper run OK for about a minute.  Switched on the deck and died....hard to restart....pulled back to shed and drained slop.

If it's doing the exact same thing with the new carb then you might make sure the gas filter is clean (and pointed in the right direction) and make sure the gas lines aren't partially plugged. You can just blow into the line from the filter going back to the tank and it may unclog anything at the tank. It should feel the same as blowing thru a straw into water, maybe a bit more effort seeings how the line is smaller. You might be able to hear it bubbling in the tank.

 If not, grab your old carb and clean the jets out and check that the float is at the right level. It may just need cleaning from gas getting old and the inside passages contaminated over time. Unless the new carb came from the dealer not all carbs you buy online are very reliable. Have you tried adjusting the new carb?.

 If you're not a carb person then you should be able to take it to a dealer or shop and see if they can rebuild it for you. You might have to fine tune the idle screws if you just take the carb in but if you take the whole vehicle in they can have everything adjusted for you.

 As been mentioned, have you checked the air filter to see if a mouse made a nest in it and blocking the airflow?

You might be able to go online and download the service manual from the manufacturer of the engine and chassis.

      2022 Coleman 400 with 13 hours on the engine and the mice got to it. Every wire coming out of the steering column in one cluster has been eaten through. I tried reconnecting matching wire colors to each other and I get the left turn signal and hazards to work, nothing else. If I play around a bit I can get the horn to honk or headlights to come on but only when I connect them to the brown wire. Obviously I don't know what I am doing here. Does anyone have a picture of how these wires are connected when they are under the hood on the drivers side coming from the steering column?
      Gray - seems to carry power
      Brown - left turn signal
      Green with purple stripe - hazards?
      Pink with red stripe - horn?
      Green - head lights?
      Yellow - head lights?
      Yellow with red stripe?
      Blue?
      Dark green?
      There is also a bundle hanging under the hood not connected to anything green with yellow strip, brown and blue?
      Other than that issue, I am about ready to sell this for parts if you interested let me know.
      Thanks

      When I am moving forward on my Hisun 500, the motor accellerates up and down while I have my foot on the gas pedal.  It also is not idling very well.  Both symptons appeared at about the same time.  What should I look for?  Thanks.
