idle problem

[Get Me Outside]

92 Johnson 200 GT

Idles fine at first, then after a little while of water sports, when picking up people or changing sports it dies at idle. Or if I gun it then let off right away it dies.
Carb problem? I had a carb tune up a few years ago. I run it regular at home. Help.

Found something wrong. Not sure if it will fix what I described earlier.

This last week end we went out to the lake. I filled up, putting over 25 gal of gas in my boat. We maybe spent 2, maybe three hours cruising, pulling the kids in tubes, and I was out of gas. EMPTY(enough to get back to the dock) What the ****!!!! It still ran rough like I said above. ...a few weekends ago I had more people in the boat, and did way more pulling and it took all day to drain it dry.

Got home, pulled off the cowling and was blown away with the smell of gas. Under the motor was filthy. I pulled off the cover to the 6 CARBS and fuel drained from the bottom. Squeezed the primer bulb and here comes gas gushing from the hose that fed the carb on the middle left. Looks like the hose was sliced; almost like the person who snipped the zip tie tail off caught the hose also. All the hoses looked good and I guess not sure the shop replaced all hoses with the last carb rebuild.$600 later

I have thought I went through gas so quick because of the prop. It might be, but sure would explain it better!!!!!!!

Can't wait to go out now and try it to see if it runs better, and what the difference of fuel usage is. Until then

Sounds as if you've answered your question.
