This motor stalls when I acccelerate from idie.The engine runs fine at top speed. Sometimes it will perform great and then the next time I accelerate from idle it will cough and kill. If I push choke when accelerating I can get it through the bad spot and it will run. So far I have put in new caburator kits, completly overhauled powerhead (rings,bored,pistons,bearings,gaskets). I have had it in two shops and had pickup timing checked, top speed timing , had the VRO pump disconected and mix oil to fuel at 50:1. I have replaced the Air jets from no.28 to no.33 as suggested in a 1987 factory bulitin. I have fought this for one year and am getting very frusterated with my Johnson outboard.Thank you for any help I can get.P.S. also tried diff. fuel tank.
