My motor bogs down in neutral and drive after being on for some time and then turned off. Seems to be a stuck choke. Anyone know how to fix such a thing? <br /><br />Motor is Johnson 100, 1972

Re: choke stuck, I think

The choke plate will be visably closing-off the throat of the carb. You should be able to see it, looking at the front of the carb. A brass circle plate, will be covering the opening.<br /><br />Check the compression. It may be low on one or more cylinders.
