This past weekend we were out on boat, I noticed the prior weekend the motor was having issues. This weekend, it got worse and would really only stay running if I choked the motor. To get back to docks.....i had to keep choking it, then pretty much throw it into gear and get running. Once it was running fast it was fine, but once i got down to idle.....it wouldnt stay running at idle. Does this sound like I need to take into shop and have carbs cleaned? After last weekend, I thought it was bad gas so I took all the gas out and put all new gas in. Still the same running. Just thought i would try to get some opinions before taking it in the shop to have it looked at. Thanks
