I just picked up this motor and i noticed it having problems when i get to 1/4-1/2 throttle. Sounds like its almost flooding out or bogging down...if you can reach full throttle before it dies it works itself out after a few seconds..The motor is way behind on its throttle response....At idle its smooth, in neutral you would never know it had a problem....What should I be looking for? The motor is an 87' Yamaha

Thanks
