Hello All,<br /><br />I have a couple of topics, they may be related, and may not. I have a '92 Mercury 150 XR6 outboard on a 19' bass boat. It starts up well, but once out on the lake, I am having problems getting it going again after I stop and fish for a bit. I found that I need to nutural rev it while turning the key and I can get it to start. I just got the boat and it had been sitting for about 4 years.<br /><br />What I was planning on doing was a full tuneup, it probably needs it anyway and cleaning the carbs. This leads me to my second topic, how to remove and clean the carbs. There are three carbs on it, covered by an plastic intake on the side of the motor closest to the boat. Does anyone know any tricks to this engine, but more importantly can I get some comments on cleaning them once I get them off???<br /><br />Are there settings on the carbs themself that I need to watch out for? jetting? what cleaner do I use? Is there a cleaner I can add to the fuel? It is a 2 stroke and I don't know if an additive is good to use. Any tricks to this would be great.<br /><br />Thanks for the help, great board.<br /><br />Aaron
