Re: 1995 90 HP Mercury Outboard - runs for a while then shuts down
So after rebuilding the pump, replacing the gasket for the oil tank - things have changed but not necessarily for the better. The motor won't idle (but it didn't before) but now full throttle feels more like 1/5th throttle. The engine is running smoothly but there is no top end, almost like it's a linkage problem. It fires right up and if I throttle up within that start-up time the motor will remain running.
I haven't had a chance to inspect the linkage since docking, hope to later today or tomorrow.
