1979 mercury 80 bogs down after warm up

Hey folks,
I'm new here and new to boating. I have some experience with 2 stroke engines (chain saw). I bought a 1969 MFG 19' with a 1979 mercury 80. It starts just fine and runs great until you slow down. When throttling back up it bogs down. Very unresponsive. I'm easy on the throttle, real gentle like. If I play with it a bit it will come back to "normal". Last time I had it out I had a real hard time getting it back. I tried being more aggressive and it seemed to work. didn't bog as much. More of a hesitation really. The fuel was fresh. I was told it could be sticking floats. I dont see Hi/Low idle adjustments. Any Ideas?
Thanks for your input,
Shawn
