Hi, Its a 1984 Evinrude 70 hp 49 cid it has been doing this forever and I get get over on it pretty easily. For the first start of the day the motor starts and runs fine at a higher then idle setting for warm up after a few minutes of warm up (2minutes) it will idle fine. I will drive away for a short 5 mintues to open water.Then but not always it will bog on throttle advancement. All it takes it to do it again and its ok. <br />Like it was loaded up.I can drive 10 miles at WOT,stop and start it 5 times and drive away and then without any reason it will do it again. Usally 5 miles out it the ocean. And thers no feeling like a like a motor dying in the ocean. It will start right up and go almost every time on the first time. On the very rare times it won't go. I have had to pull the plug wires one at a time and rest the wire on the spark plug to make the gap hoter,till I get the engine to sound like it hitting on all 3 cyl I think its the # 2 cyl/carb thats giving me the problem. I not one that advacates just turning carb screw settings just because there there. I willing to adjust it if I know thats the problem. What am I looking for to tell me it a a fuel/spark issue? Before I just go in a start turning!<br /> steve
