I am having trouble with my 1980 85 Johnson outboard. The problem I am having is that the engine will start and idle just fine. When I put the engine in gear under load it also runs fine. However once I begin to give the engine gas I bogs down and stalls out. If I allow the engine enough time to run at idle it will work out the problem on its own and run fine. This happens everytime I turn off the boat and let it sit for just 10 min. Once I start it up again the samething happens. To me it seems like a fuel problem. My attempted solutions have been to replace the vaucum fuel pump, replace my in-line fuel filter, replace my fuel water seperator, and install new fuel lines. These haven't worked though and now I am stuck. Any suggestions?
