Im trying to find out what might be causing my 135hp merc to be running lean.<br /> could it be that the engine is starving it self becouse of too much vacume on the fuel sys? <br /> the only reason I question this is that the filter that I used two years ago a Quick silver,the boat ran fine and now im using a Racor and the part #'s dont cross ref. thinking back it seams that my problems began shortly after the switch.<br /><br />I have gone through the entire fuel sys Plugged vent,pick up tube,new fuel lines,priming bulb.

Quick way ta check that theory 47'er, iz temporally remove the filter and see how it runs. If that's the prolem, replace it. Plugs should give ya a real quick read on being lean or not.<br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty
