aloha,<br /><br />I previously asked you a question as to the year of my Mercury...<br />We've had the boat out several times, now, and she runs fine, except at idle.<br />She won't pull start, easily, and won't idle worth a dang.<br />I know it's a no-no, but, I give the engine a whisper of ether to get it running with my finger<br />on the idle control to keep it running until I get it in gear. Of course, this involves removing and reinstalling the cover.<br />the motor runs fine at speed. But, won't idle<br />at all, even when warmed up.<br />My buddy and I were going to replace the fuel filter and disassemble the carburetor to look for crude in the jets and clean-up the fuel bowl.<br /><br />aloha,<br />Karl and the Girls<br /><br />~~~~~~~ previously wrote ~~~~~~~<br />> Looks to be a 1991 25HP Model (D000750 - D081999)<br />> Fuel oil mix is indeed 50:1<br />> Let us know if you need any help getting her <br />> going. Sounds like it may have been sitting <br />> for a while...
