76 Merc 1150 Inline 6.
Motor has been sitting for a while and this is only my second time ever starting it. Anyhow, replaced water pump impeller and before I went any further I wanted to make sure it peed water. Took FOREVER to get started and finally after it did, it would run for maybe a minute then shut off. Start again, same thing. Start again, put in gear, prop spins, throttle it and stays the same then dies? Lever for high idle has no effect on idle at all.
Tried readjusting the throttle cable, nothing?
Brand new gas....
Brand new spark plugs?
Anybody got a hint? Im starting to wonder if this motor is worth the trouble.
