Hi, I just recently rebuilt the 3 carbs and put new plugs in my 1999
Johnson 60horse on my 17' Montauk.
I can get the throttle about 3/4 the way forward and then in
just bogs down. What I just notice today though, is that I can push
the throttle all the way up and then, intermitently push the choke and
get full speed and smooth running out of it!


Did you replace the gaskets or re-use them? The small 1/2" dia. gasket that
goes around the high speed nozzle is very important and if leaking air or
not installed, the motor will have the same symptoms that you describe.

By hitting the "choke" you are opening an electric valve that allows raw
fuel into the intake. Since the motor then increases power, that means that
your carbs are not delivering enough fuel for some reason. What did you set
the float adjustment at?
