Need some help, y'all. I have a 2001 Merc 115 4-cylinder, and when I push it to WOT nothing happens, but if I leave it there it will slooowly pick up speed and RPM and accelerate to WOT. It is one of those engines that idles on 2 cylinders and fires up the other two for more speed. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!<br /><br />Oh, one other thing-every so often when I have it throttle wide open but not moving at WOT speed it really picks up RPM and speed when I trim the engine up a little.

Sounds like the prop is too big (pitch).
