Hey guys
Have a 1996 merc 9.9 4 stroke, electric choke
Starts and runs great but bogs down and dies when accelerating.
It's a low hours motor but has sat most of its life.
Cleaned the carb thoroughly twice to no avail. Also cleaned fuel filter.
Choke seems to work, on start it has high idle then settles down too nice idle.
Gonna put a new plug in it and see if that helps.
Any other ideas? Rebuild kit? Pump diaphragm is showing signs of wear but seems to function as it should.
Thanks in advance
Also, I'm not sure I'm installing the electric choke right. There are 2 metal brackets that mount with it but don't seem to do/go to anything... I thought when I removed it that one bracket went under the choke and one over but that didn't make sense...being there is a round gasket under the choke and that bracket would prevent the choke from seating on the gasket if that makes sense to anyone.
