My mercury 150 primer ball collasped on me,so i put a new one on and its doing the same thing. It seems like its only doing it when i get to about half tank of gas. Dont know why this is happening. Fuel lines are 3/8ths.
Mercury 1984 150. When i put motor in gear,forward or reverse its dieing out. If i push in the enrichner while im shifting it will go but i have to continue to push in enrichner while running or it will die. Cant get above idle speed while doing this. It sounds like it not getting enough fuel...

I have a mercury 150 black max. The ignition switch has a push in choke. I push it in it does nothing. I tryed to find the solenoid on the motor but dont see it. Where is it located, close to starter solenoid? I need to buy a manual.
