" I have a 1988 Johnson 88 hp

" I have a 1988 Johnson 88 hp outboard motor that stalls about half the time when accelerating from idle speed. The motor has been sitting for 2 years and sometimes does not have the problem. It kind of sounds like it starts to bog down, maybe flood. Do I need to rebuild the carburator or can I do something else that is easier and may help out? "
 
" Mark.... An outboard engine

" Mark.... An outboard engine sitting for that length of time would in all probability have fouled, clogged carburetors. The cure would be to remove, clean, and rebuild them.
