[QUOTE="canadian omc, post: 391848, member: 8286"] Hello folks, As the title states, the motor will start with little trouble however when I go to throttle it up it stalls out. I've made sure the vent is open on the tank, changed the fuel supply line, and mixed fresh gas at 50:1 It's console steer c/w electric start and no power trim. As I am not familiar with Mercury motors #-o I'm asking for your help with this as I would like to get out of the yard and back on the water :wink: Also,does anyone know how to take the top cover off this motor to access the recoil starter? Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me. Cheers [/QUOTE]
