Hello, I own a Mercury 89' 100HP that hesitates upon take off (hole shot). It idles and runs top end well. Can anybody help me out? It has new plugs. Does anyone know if Boysen reeds would help?<br />Thanks,<br />Little Bear

Perhaps it is running too lean. It sure made a difference in my 77 Merc 115. A service manual should guide you thru the process, it is at least a good starting point.
