1981 FL250, just picked it up last week. I replaced the ignition coil, cleaned the carb, cleaned out the gas tank and put fresh gas in it. New spark plug. compression test was 125. Starts up on first or second pull. Idles perfect, when I give it gas it bogs down ( does not stall). I thinking electrical, (pulser? coil?) Has anybody else had this problem?

welcome to the forums. we don't see many FL250's around here ?, but I would say your carb is not clean if it starts, idles, but won't rev .

Sounds like the carb is still dirty or maybe your choke is stuck on? Just some ideas.

I agree with the above, you likely still have a carb issue. When you say "cleaned" the carburetor what exactly did you do?

 

[Piney]

Opened the carb, removed all jets, sprayed everything out with carb cleaner and air, blew all the hoses out, removed the float and cleaned all ports. clean as a whistle.

it also has a fuel pump that returns unused fuel to the tank,, pretty much eliminated fuel issue

Very often the jets need to be lightly "scrubbed" to clean thoroughly enough. Usually a spray with carb cleaner and compressed air isn't enough.

I just bought a new coil and plug wire, will check the jets again,
