This motor starts fine. idles ok but i have noticed a little surging in the idle. i let it warm up good at the dock while i load the boat. when i put the motor in gear and try to get rpm's it just boggs. i mean throttle all the way and go know where.if i am not in a rush i will shut the motor down take a few casts then 10 minutes later starts and runs fine. if i need to get some where fast to catch the tide right i keep going and after a few minutes the motor starts to surge to the correctrpm in quick spurts the finaly kicks in then no problems. its annouying. any insight? thanks

Carbs versus fuel pump versus fuel lines versus easy as carbs adjusts. Sounds lean. <br />Capt I hate compression tests,<br />Souunds almost proctological,<br />Emmer
