o.k guys. I just bought my first boat. a 1976 Chrysler with a Suzuki dt 65.. only issue i have with the boat is when you give it throttle it doesnt do anything, it just idles....UNTIL i hit the electronic choke, then it takes of like a banshee.. so to paraphrase, boat starts right up, idles fine, moves forward and reverse no problem. when giving full throttle motor just idles until i choke the carbs, then it takes off. any insight on what this might be? Carbs were rebuilt, new gas tanks, and new fuel lines. i was thinking that because i have to choke the carbs that maybe it is sucking too much air. any help is appreciated. thanks
