1989 Mercury Classic Fifty 45 hp

[Dhock88]

I have a 1989 Classic Fifty that starts right away every time whether its cold or hot and runs great. The only problem is that once I run it up the river and its completely warmed up, it bogs out and dies if I try to idle with it in gear. It seems to me that its loading up with fuel and flooding out but I could be wrong. Anyone have any suggestions on where to start?

Shot in the dark: Have you tried adjusting the idle mixture screws on the carbs to make them a tad richer? Read somewhere in the forum where a too lean mixture makes them hard to start when they are warmed up.
