Easy one first(I hope). Anyone know where I can get a good manual for a 98 Merc. 150xr6? All the sites I go to dont go that new.<br /> <br />Now for the second question. The same above motor is giving me fits. Starts fine, but idles like crap, and dies everytime when put in gear, unless I hold the key in (choke). Things I've personally done to try and fix are replace fuel bulb, plugs, filter, and rebuilt the fuel pump. The next thing I want to do is clean the Carb out, but since I've never rebuilt a carb I was wondering if there was anything else I should check first?? Also, anyone know where I can get carb kits for it, and what numbers I would have to get off the motor to get the correct ones?? Appreciate any help.<br /> <br /> <br />LipRipper

Hi Ripper<br /><br />Sounds like typical fuel starvation. Do the carb clean, which would have been my first advice anyway. You dont nesecerely have to rebuild since the motor is newer, just clean every orifice carefully, and gaskets can be reused if you are carefull. good luck
