Force 50 idles fine will not throttle up

[mbobo]

Back in the water for the first time since fall and the engine starts easily and idles fine. At FOT the engine will not rev up but just runs a little faster than idle. I can open the throttle by hand at the carb and it revs up to full rpm, but with the prop engaged I get squat.<br /><br />Before launch I:<br /><br />Replaced the plugs<br />Cleaned the carb<br />Refilled the lower unit<br /><br />Any next step suggestions?<br /><br />Thanks to all!<br /><br />mtb

If you mean the motor bogs or stumbles as you try to accelorate this usually indicates a dirty carb or poor fuel supply.You might try squeezing the primer bulb if it helps then you may have a fuel pump problem.You could try a little choke if it helps you may have a dirty carb.Usually a rebuild is in order.
