You prolly just have to CLEAN that carb. Sounds to me like the main jet
is
clogged - not uncommon. Just take off the wrap, hat, and inner cowl if it
has one. Remember where hoses and wires went....

Does anyone know of any resources on the net that has the instructions
for
the carb rebuild kit? Most interested in the dissambly of the motor to
get
to the carb..

I didnt pump the bulb, just played with the choke. Im fairly mech.
inclined,
is installing the fuel pump kit complicated?

Sounds like a fuel pump kit is needed, simple yet, a high mortality
part.

frequently replaced item on many outboards.

Mercury 1985 outboard 35 HP
Bought it used.. fresh gas, plugs and fuel filter. The engine
starts
fine
and idles fine in the driveway.

(yes gas vent was open)

We took it out this evening wheneve we tried to give it some
throttle,
it
would bog out and die. It would move foward but at a slow speed.
When
we
played with the choke (moved it halfway) we could get the boat
moving
well.

Any clues as to what to look for?
