Hello,
I have a 1971 Mercury 9.8 Model 110 on my 12' mirro craft boat. This motor was a barn find has been in storage for over 20 years. Got the motor home and changed out all the fuel lines, all the wires, and the gear oil. Removed the carb and cleaned, didn't pull it apart just soaked it in carb x. Started it up at home and it worked great. Took it out to the lake sunday and it fired up on the 10 th pull, after letting it warm up for about 10 mins i put it in gear and started out of the five mile an hour zone but once i gave it gas it bogged down like it wasn't getting gas and then died. Two pulls and i had it started again but as soon as i gave it gas it did it again. It idels great but once in gear i have nothing so i Called it a day and went home.
Once home i started messing with it and noticed that i have alot of gas coming out the carb down into the housing. Not sure on my next step do i rebuild the carb. or fuel pump or both. Could it be the timing?
Any pointers and help is much appreciated. Thanks for looking
Chris
