I have a 2004 fourstroke Merc that has about 15 hours on it. I started it yesterday after a several month storage and it started easily but won't idle unless it is so fast it slams in to gear. I would appreciate any advice.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />JB

Don't slam it into gear like that. It is very bad for the gears. I don't know much about fourstrokes, but if a twostroke was laid for a while the carbs might get gummed up thus giving it a poor idle. Try sparying some carb cleaner.<br /><br />-andy
