    Ill check the voltage but ive been trying to start it with coldstart lever all the way up and squeezing the primer before cranking aswell as choke and all it will do is almost fire.

    I got the starter working while im waiting for my new one and the motor will pop off and almost start if i use some starting fluid so i think i have some kind of fuel issue now. It will also almost start if I squeeze the primer bulb really hard. How should i test if the fuel pump is working well?

    I tried that the other day and i got them set to where i think was the best and it made it a little better but it still wouldnt accelerate or go into gear without almost stalling or stalling.

    1976 mercury 1150 115hp runs on muffs but not in lake

    My 1976 mercury 115 runs great and revs fully with muffs but as soon as i put it in the water it will start and idle but likes to stall going into gear. When i do get it in gear it will slowly speed up but only get half throttle and wont go over 20 mph. It also doesnt like to start after the...
