I have a 15hp 4 stroke Yamaha, 2000. I had it serviced at the beginning of the year and probably have put maybe 10 hours on it. If I haven't run it for a week or longer it will start no problem but then putz out when you engage the prop. I've been letting it warm up awhile at a higher idle and then it kicks in after a stutter and then she's good to go. I was thinking the low idle jet may be glogged but I find it hard to believe after not putting that many hours on it and having a new fuel water filter installed.

Beamie knows what I'm talking about! Any ideas?
