engine bogs down when I throttle up to plane

[[email protected]]

My 1995 65HP Suzuki outboard motor bogs down and sometime cuts off when I throttle up to gain speed. If I remove the cover and use the manual choke I can get it up to speed and get the boat on a plane. Any advice as to what may be causing this?

Also try changing the oil, crap oil will really make a Suzuki run like a dog and oil up the plugs. If the motor is oil injected, clean the old oil out. If u mix it, buy some Kendall gt2 stroke oil. Let the motor clean itself out 15-30 mins WOT and it should be much better. Seems silly but I had the same issue, and could never figure it out till I talked to the guy I bought my boat from. I told him I keep fouling plugs and it keeps dogging. He told me it was the oil, and to only use Kendall... Dunno but it worked

The carbs need a good cleaning and rebuild
