My Johnson 7.5hp will tool along just fine for hours at trolling speed. If I open up the throttle it goes great fro a short time then bogs right down. If I back off the throttle quickly I can keep it running. I can nurse it along like this for a while an then It will allow full throttle for a short time again, although it does not seem to go at full speed. Yes tank is vented and fuel is fresh, plugs are new. Can anyone help?

Sucking for fuel at high speed.<br /><br />Clean the carb bowl and hi speed jet.<br /><br />Check all fuel lines and fuel pump for restrictions or air leaks.<br /><br />Let us know what you find. :)
