Hey, I have a 1976 mercury 850 2stroke 4cyl. motor. After warmimg up for a while it will idle enough to slip it in gear. But it will only give me about idle speed and if I give it anymore throtle it just dies. The engine has all new wiring, And runs fine at home with a hose hook up. It just does not like the lake......
