I am sorry if this has already been asked but, I couldn't find anything. I have a 1999 Mercury 15 hp with about 15 hours on it. It has always started with one pull until this year. Now, the only way I can keep it running is to use the primer and keep it part way out to keep it running. It has new plugs and I soaked the carb in fresh gas for 12 hours to remove any deposits. Yesterday, I had it running ok for awhile without the choke but if I reved it up, it would missfire. I don't want to take it apart again if it could be something simple. I tried calling the local Merc dealer to see where I might start and I guess you can figure what they said. "Bring it in" seems to be their standard approach and I can't really blame them. However, it would be nice for just a quick hint that I can maybe fix myself. Any help from the forums would be greatly appreciated.
