just bought the boat, had it out on the lake and putted around for about 1 hour at about one quarter throttle, then took it for spin around lake only for about 15 minutes, when slowing down, the enging died and had tough time starting again without choke. got it started but had to use choke even when warm. once running if i shut the choke off it would quit. but if i gave it throttle,it would run great at top end but wants to stall when i slow down to come in to a dock? i have put a premium in it but did not take the tank out to clean it completely. new filters all around, any ideas it is 120 hp inline 4

It's not an outboard. You posted this on the Mercury outboard forum.
