Hi all,
I purchased a 1983 mercury 9.8 motor a couple of months ago and am experiencing some issues. First of all, the motor fires right up after 2 or 3 pulls, the motor will rev to wot. In neutral but when I put it into forward it seems to only want to go to half throttle. Even when the tiller handle is turned all the way to fast. Every once in a while it will run like a champ and will go full throttle with no issues, but most of the time this is the issue I experience, any help would be much appreciated. New to marine engines over here!
