Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | You should seriously look at fuel as the potential problem - mid 80's to now is +20 years of accumulation in your fuel tank - the pick up strainer may be blocked intermittantly, what about the fuel filter? Ethanol is nasty crap in 2 cycle motors or any engine that sits for 3-4 months over winter.
They also don't run well if there's a air leak in the fuel line either - replace the line(s) & bulb. I did it all after I blew my 1989 Johnson 150HP because of water in the oil injection... $17K lesson. Prior to that I had a air leak on the fuel line bulb itself, it didn't like that either- not enough fuel to all the cylinders.....
Good luck!
