My Merc when started most of the time misses(blubbering). In gear or out of gear. Sooner or later the motor will fire on all 6 cylinders and run just fine. No power until you can hear the motor running on all 6. This happens several times during the day. I've checked with volt meter all that I can. Checked all the connections. Switch boxes, trigger, dirty carbs?

Search this site for the directions to build your own spark tester.

Test spark to ensure that all cyl have adaquate hot spark. Once all's well then proceed to cleaning carbs.
