Yep clean the carb. I use Suzuki carb cleaner and it will clean them right up. A guy just gave me an 86 Bravo. Its been used very little and has sat for so long Im going to just put a carb kit in it.
The date of manufacture will be on a decal on the tunnel.

HFT - you might also check those rubber boots near the carb. My 88 Bravo had bogging issues that turned out to be a crack in the boot that was leaking air. Replaced it and runs like a champ now. Good luck! The above is my first guess. The carb can get carb ice in the throat if it is warm and misty. Ice will close down the throat and not enough air to run above idle will be available. mt

My old Supertrack gave me bogging issues one year. Would run great one day and bog on and off the next. It wasn't the boots, it turned out to be a piece of tundra debris in one of the jets, a tundra needle or something. My guess is the end of it would sometimes stand up and normal fuel would get by and it would run right. Other days I guess it would fold over the jet and cause it to bog.
I'm sure you'll get'er right John. Start with what you can see before getting the tools out; carb boots, cable movement in the throttle and choke, then start removing stuff, checking that everything moves the way it should as you go. Eventually you'll find it, or get the carb off and take it apart and clean it and hopefully it'll run right.
Be safe out there!
Rumors of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated.

I appreciate all the advice guys! Tore apart the carb today and sprayed it down pretty good. The boots were good. There was a little water in the bowl. Put it all back together and was like what the heck! It still idled high and bogged down when I gave it gas. So I tried to adjust the throttle and the screw just spinned, turns out it must have backed out of the plunger. Got that fixed and after a few adjustments she is running like a champ now! Again I appreciate all the advice! Good to hear! I took mine into the Yammy dealer in town with plans to have them replace all the fuel lines and pull the carb and put new guts in it. I am so busy I just dont have time. Turns out they dont work on anything over 20-years old! They hummed and hawed a bit then told me they would do it but it was going to cost me $700 minimum! Bought the parts and brought it home, I will make time for that kind of money..
