I recently bought a 2000 Stratos 283 Vindicator with a 150 Johnson on it. I've had it out twice and it starts really well and runs good.....but only after what seems like a long, long warm up. Trying to motor off the trailer is pretty much impossible because if you gas it, it dies. It starts right back up but it takes four or five minutes before you can accelerate above about 1000 rpm. This is a carburated motor with the EMM. Is this normal? This is the only outboard boat I have owned. Love the boat.
