Mercury 20HP problems - help - 10/12/20 06:09 PM
I have a 20HP 4 stroke Mercury on my wife’s little pontoon boat. Motor is only 2 years old. It does stay on the water for probably 9 months out of the year. This last weekend the motor would start just fine but when you gave it gas the motor would choke down. It would not die, but it would not power up like it should. The motor is only 2 years old so I am surprised I am having an issue like this.
Could it be an issue with the Fuel Demand Valve or the fuel line? If there is a small leak in the fuel line or primer bulb letting air in, would it cause this type of problem?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
