I have a 2001 Merc 2 stroke. Always starts 1st or 2nd pull after normal cold start prime routine. runs just fine, and runs full throttle like it should.
i can stop and start it, fine, but if I wait 10 to 15 min, it will bog down on acceleration, but will run at idle the way it's supposed to.
Bulb seems to not be as firm as when I pump it to 1st start it, but firimg it up does not make it accelerate normally.
the only way to rid this acceleration problem, is to pull the primer button out a few times, while trying to accelerate, it catches, and will power up normally.
Again, if I start it within 4-5 min, there is no problem, only if i fish for a bit and then start it.
does this sound like a weak fuel pump problem?? or an air leak??
I'm baffled
