Test the fuel pump. If ok, try a carb cleaning.<br /><br />Are you sure you are getting spark on all cylinders?

Re: Mercury 25

To test pump: Have someone pump the primer bulb while shifting into gear, if this stops the engine from stalling then it's the fuel pump.<br /><br />More than likely you need to do a carb cleaning
