The engine ( 1988 Evinrude 28 HP ESL) was tuned and serviced but not used for some time (approximately 1 year). When started it idles well. When put in gear it will idle and run at low speeds. When you give it throttle it boggs and will shut off if you do not back off on the throttle. It does not have any problem restarting and runs well at idle). I pulled the cover and placed a few fingers over the carb and it runs like a new engine. It will run wide open as long as I restrict air into the carb. Once I remove my fingers (stop restricting the air) it immediately dies. It does seem to be getting fuel into the carb when you give it throttle, it just will not burn correctly until you restrict the air. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank You.
