I have a 35hp mercury outboard from I think 86 it was the first year they developed oil injection, which was taken out the outboard. The engine will start fine every time, it idles fine, and will run great all day until you give it to much throttle. Then it will start to run rough, it will slow down then speed up and won't even run good slow anymore. Anyone have any idea's.

zack<br />Sounds like carb problem to me, then again could be ignition. Are you going to do the work?, buy a service manual. Somebody else fix it?, take it to a Merc mechanic. I suppose you will be on the shore this weekend and next.<br />Backfire ;)
