I went to run my Mercury 45 Jet for the first time since a rebuild and winterize. Needless to say, after doing the recommended gas/oil mix, The motor was very hard stating. I finally got it to run and let it idle. It ran for a bit before shutting down. It started back up after I pumped the ball. I let it idle and then hitting the throttle to leave it didn't pick up and bogged right down. It wouldn't start again until I pumped the ball back up and waited a bit. Way too hard starting. After at least a half hour of trying I put it on the trailer and came home.
I'm totally bummed out especially after seeing it run in the shop. For whatever reason the motor seems to be starving for fuel. The ball does not stay hard as I imagine it should. Could you please offer me a suggestion on what I might be able to do to run this thing.
