"looking for any help. This is my first experience with a large outboard. 1989 merc L6 115 hp. Ran out of gas last week and since then engine has been running really bad. It idles rough and wont go under throttle. I thought I might of sucked up some varnish or junk from the tank (engine sat for 2 years without starting) didn't think to put fresh gas in it. It ran great before that. Checked fuel pump screen, took carbs off, cleaned reassembled with new gaskets, 16 oz of oil to 6.25 gals of fuel but still wont run right. Any help would be greatly appreciated."
