    Sounds like an overly rich mixture of fuel. A needle valve in one of the carbs not working correctly will cause the symptoms. You can trim the motor up to a shallow water drive position and prime the bulb while viewing the carbs. If it's a needle, one of the carbs will start bleeding fuel.
    I'd rather be fishing.
