have a 1985 140hp mercruiser 4cyl it runs good except when you give it full throttle at idle. It hesitates then opens up and runs great it is enough make you lunge forward then back . At any other throttle position it doesnt do this any ideas thanks

May need a tuneup, or carb adjustment, or maybe a new accelerator pump in the carb.

Not in that distributor.

Then you probably have some type of carb issue.
