I have a 1990 Johnson 200hp on my ski boat and I stored it for the winter and the first time out, it loads up on idle and hesitates on take off. Once it gets on plane, it cleans out and runs fine. Once i idle for a while, it does it again. I'm assuming the carb is gummed up, but I've never had a problem with it sitting in the past. I even ran Stabil in it before the winter, but was told that you have to idle it for 30 min. or more to get the Stabil in the system? I probably idled it for 10?
Have other been successful running a cleaner through it or do the carbs needs to be rebuilt? What kind of fuel products have others been successful with?
What would you recommend in the future to avoid this problem?
thank you!
