My98 merc 60 outboard has sat up for 6 mnths, has water separator and new gas installed. Engine starts and coughs runs like 2 of the 3 cyl are firing and wants to stop. On the water, higher speed wants does not want to go high speed, it wants to flood out and not want to start. Its been about 2 to 3 years before last rebuild on carbs. Tried spray cab clean with no help, also emptied water separator, had some brown liquiod that came out after opening. Pressing fuel injector button on key helps keep enjine running at ideal. Any ideas before taken her in for a $300 plus job?
