I also found a number on...

    85 Merc won't accelerate after warmup

    My 85 Merc inline 6 115hp starts fine,idles fine and revs up in neutral without any problems.Runs fine at high speed until it warms up about 5-10 minutes.If you push the throttle down it just wants to quit running,if you very slowly push the throttle forward it does much better but still not...
