i recently posted a thread about my suzuki stalling right when i put it into gear. I cleaned out the carbs, but new plugs in it, checked the fuel lines adjusted the idle . now, when i put it into gear, it will idle fine, but when i give it throttle, it stalls out. after messing with it for a while, i found that if i had the choke on when i was giving it throttle, it would get up to full speed, then if i took the choke off, it would still run fine. but it wont get up to full speed without the choke on. i figure it is something to do with my carbs. any help?

Carbs need cleaning. I had something similar when I first got my boat with a DT-85. I had to remove all the carbs, completely disassemble them, and clean them.

I think deejaycee hit the nail on the head. I bet if you squeeze the bulb while giving it throttle it runs fine. Sounds like a fuel pump issue. Good Luck!!
