It's a 2003 merc 125 salt water motor. It's a very cold blooded motor. I changed plugs this weekend, thinking it was fouled up after the break in, but it still doesn't want to idle. It will start up, run rough, then will just kill. When I try to to punch it, it will take off, then hesitate, then go. I'm a new boat owner, so any ideas you guys have, I would appreciate. Thanks in advance. Jim.
I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:
JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th
Brianf. – March 28th
Bobberwatcher – April….
MikeG3Boat – April 10th
SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st
Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.
