    1992 mercruiser 3.0 stalling when shifting into gear and trouble getting up to speed

A plugged up carb will seem about the same. On another note,not enough fuel could do it also,plugged filters...

    Mercruiser 140 turbo

    A guy called me, said he has a turbo for a mercruiser 140. Is it a bad idea to install it on my 140 ? Im leaning on not but just wanted some opinions. And how much are they worth? My engine is a 1985 vintage,great compression,uses no oil,and runs perfect. I'd hate to wreck it over adding the...
