1996 Rinker 180 - Merc Alpha One 3.0- Just got her in for the season after running perfect last summer. She starts and idles fine- when engaging into slo speeds - she stalls. Runs perfect at higher speeds. Just when I am starting off in "no wake zone", keeps stalling as I try to accel. If I slam her into higher speed, runs fine.
Clogged fuel filter? Residue in carb? Hoping to not bring her in for service, I'll never get it back in time for any fun. Praying for some over the counter suggestions?

Thanks!
Kevin
