I have an 96 88hp Evinrude on a 16ft boat. I ran once last year with no troubles. I filled the tank up today and tried to go out. It idles good but when I applied throtlle it would die at around 1800rpms. I was able to get on plane only by constently bumping the choke. What sounds like my problem? Thanks for the help.

Thanks for your help. Is there some type of cleaner I could try or would the carb have to be taken apart?
