Ive been following Knot2muchs question. I myself just bout a glass Bass Tacker with an 87 150 on it and am experiencing similar performance! Is it just the nature of the beast or what? If I just hammer it,it picks up just fine, If I back off all at once it idles fine, but if I ease into it, it will bog out, or if I back off real slowly it will dieout! I too have done everthing that knot2much has done and more! I really do not find it too annoying as I do not ever operate the boat in the 1000-2000 range!<br />Wazzzup??<br /><br />Hasbeen
