[QUOTE="user 7806, post: 251134, member: 7806"] I was having some isues with my 20 hp Mercury and it turned out that it was sucking air and causing problems, my case it wouldn't idle, would be hard to start & finally it dies while backing up and would not restart. More or less by accident I discovered that the quick disconnect at the motor was worn and allowing the fuel pump to suck air. The quick disconnect didn't leak fuel so it took a while to figure out what the probem was. [/QUOTE]
