Idle problem

[SpinnerBait_Nut]

Ok guys, here's the deal.<br />1988 Mariner 115 runs great and idles good most of the time.<br /><br />Sometimes though, it won't idle right and dies.<br />When it is where it will idle, it is at 1000 rpms in neutral and about 900 in gear.<br /><br />Do I have a carb dirty you reckon?<br />No problems starting at all and it might go all day and idle right, but seems like it gets worse after putting around for a while like it is loading up.

No MY, no gas leakage and it has been a while since they have been apart.<br /><br />Guess it's time to give them a good cleaning.<br /><br />Thanks.
