Just recently boat an 18' aluminum bass boat with a 2005 mercury 2 stroke 90 horse. The boat has been sitting for a whole and has some old gasoline in it. It completely plugged up the inline fuel filter. I installed a new clear fuel filter and after priming the pump debris from the fuel tank were already in it. It still will start and run. It'll actually get up to about 40 mph at 5500 rpm. It hardly will idle and definitely struggles and sputters on accelearation. New plugs and good spark.
is running this fuel bad for the motor? Can I harm it with it running so rough on acceleration?
The tank is almost full, should I just run it out or drain it? It' a built in 20 gallon tank, should I clean it somehow?
Thanks for all the help!
