3.0L won't idle

[Regal1800lsr]

I have a 2001 3.0L that has been running great until now. I started the engine and it stalled. Got it going and ran fine from 2000rpm to wot. Back off the below 2000rpm and it stalls. Got it back to the dock and now it won't stay running if I don't feather the gas. Help PLease!

Sounds like the idle circuit in the carb is clogged. A carb rebuild may be in order.

Welcome to iboats, btw.
