I'm looking for any help with an issue on my 1999 Mercury 4 stroke 15hp before I have to take it to the mechanic. The motor was having a problem with cutting out coming out of idle and then again at higher RPMs . I rebuilt the carb and replaced the spark plugs. Now the lower end and midrange is great but it is still cutting out at higher RPMs. I just noticed today that when it starts cutting out, water will start spraying out of the upper (what I believe) is an exhaust outlet. It is the port in the center of the motor not far below the cowling. It is not the water pee hole, which is working fine. The motor does not run hot and the oil looks good. It don't see any water and it is not cloudy. Any ideas? I'm not an idiot, but I'm stumped by this.
Thanks alot.
