My 1994 Johnson 140 Hp outboard starts with no problem, idles fine, but after beginning initial acceleration the engine begins to stall but once through the low rpms, the engine run fine and strong at high rpms up to 5400 rpms. Most of these conditions happen after the engine has not been running for a while when I have stopped, done some fishing, and the engine is restarted. Please post any suggestions. Thanks. Wendhall

Sounds as if the low speed passages are dirty might be time to remove the carbs and rebuild and clean them good.
