If u read my old posts u can find more info on my 79 merc 200hp O/B i recently put a new stator, flywheel,and starter. I have had some carb problems too... this may be one of em.Last year had the carbs rebuilt a couple times before i bought a good filter. now with all the other things i recently replaced ,the motor finaly seemed to be healed, went out yesterday and today and the motor ran fine i could run WOT then shut down without the usual stalling I have had trouble with before, with the exception of a couple times when i put in neutral and it died, but would fire right up and idle after that. Anyway today when trailering the boat I was half way on the trailer where it stopped as per usual, then when i tried to give it some power to push on up, the motor just bogged down and died . But didnt have a problem restarting, tried several times but kept bogging down and then die. is this another carb problem? yesterday i had no prob with it, coulda pushed the truck up the ramp it seemed. thanx for any replies i appreciate them all.
