"My 90 hp motor was bought new

"My 90 hp motor was bought new and worked great up until now.
It starts fine, but at low rpms, idles terribly. Once higher rpms are reached, it runs great but have to "feather" the throttle to get it past the low idle problems.

The filters, plugs,and fuel have all been replaced. A mechanic has cleaned and sync'd the carbs but it still isn't idling.
any suggestions?"
 
"I am having the same problem

"I am having the same problem with my 50HP. Had a dealer clean carbs, sync etc. Still poor idle and stalls. They said there were black specks in the carb bowls. I have a 10 micron filter system between the tank and engine plus the filter in the engine. I read somewhere about junk coming out of the fuel pump, black specks that were big enought to see. Thinking of replacing fuel pump."
