So, I just bought a classic 50, ran great on the guys stand (cowl off), got it home, mounted it, and found with the cowl on it will idle for a few seconds and then die (as though its starving itself for air) Bottom carb leaks, so i'm thinking a carb rebuild is the solution? 123 psi on all 4 cylinders, as well as spark on all 4. And again, it idles great cowl off. (just the tin part) Don't wanna spend a fortune at the marina, if a carb job will fix it, and I am missing out on the best walleye fishing of the year!!! Thanks guys!!!
Oh yeah, and it leaks fuel on priming, I am really thinking carbs!!! Hopefully one of the 4 mercury shops in town has a rebuild kit.
