i have a 1985 25 hp mercury 2 stroke. been working on this motor for a couple weeks now trying to get it to run right. the motor will some of the time not stay running when i take it from forward gear into neutral, if i do it very slowly and carefully i can get it to stay idling in neutral and it runs just fine but it will bog down very bad and is obvious that it is about to shut off and it just all the sudden picks back up and starts idling. the times that it does shut itself off, when i go and try to start it again it is a pain in the butt. doesnt even try to start (pull start) i have to mess with the throttle cable to get it started and even then its a pain. would appreciate any help guys im tired of stressing over this. thanks
