I noticed last year my motor didn't really want to idle "right" and tended to cut out and quit.
Plus when it cranked up and you barely gave it gas it wanted to die.
To the best of my knowledge I have only put ethanol gas in it one time and that was last year. I got caught where I either had to use it or not go fishing.

It has never had a screw turned on it since I bought it new.

I went to crank it yesterday, first time since September or early October and like to have never got it to run.
As soon as you hit the button it would hit but only once or twice then quit.
I am thinking maybe the injectors need cleaning?

About how much should it cost for me to take it somewhere and have them go over it a bit to find out why it don't want to idle and run right?

Once you fire it up and get it going it runs fine, just don't like to idle and getting it past the barely giving it gas stage to wide open is a pain sometimes.
 
I have a 99 johnson 150 that started doing that exact same thing. Bought some sea foam (2/3 cans) started running it through and after probably the first tank noticed a difference and after a couple more tanks it's not a issue at all.

Well the weather has been super crappy ever since I posted this.
I haven't messed with anything yet.

Gonna go with the new gas / seafoam deal and see what that does.
Gonna have to warm up a bit and quit raining before I do anything though. :D
