I just bought a 1992 Procraft 180 Combo with a Mercury 150 hp. Black Max motor. When advancing the throttle from idle, especially when pulling a skier, the motor bogs, then catches and goes. When trying to start the motor, it acts as if it is getting too much gas and sometimes it has to be in the advanced throttle position just to start. Then, it wants to die when it is idled back down to put it in gear. It seems to be running terribly rich at idle and the idle speed seems low, probably because it running so rich.<br /> This boat has not been used much in the last couple of years. Is it possible for the choke to stick in a partially choked position? Could it be stuck floats? What should be my plan of attack to solve this annoying problem? Once the motor catches and goes, it runs great with a top speed of 55 mph (without a skier).
