OM carbs are far less sophisticted that later series models and don't have such things as breather pipes (I think). To be clear, when I open the throttle, the engine will die completely - almost as if one had run out of petrol or someone had turned the ignition off in error...
Today task is to track down a replacement manifold to eliminate that...
If the fuel is from July I would try that first! I use outboard motors a lot and they are very temperamental on old fuel, anything over a month old can cause problems. As said above super seems to last better and some of the standard stuff can go off in a couple of weeks. I always use super in the 7 now as it doesn't get much use.
