Hello all, brand new to this forum and need some help. I have a 1995 Mercury 60 HP and just recently is has started running very erratic between 5 and 6 thousand rpm. It's as though you are accelerating and decelerating very quickly manually with the throttle but ONLY between 5 to 6 K. It runs great under 5K and at WOT. I have already installed a new fuel/water separator filter and that did not help. Any thoughts or opinions? I thought that maybe the ethanol gas was playing some tricks on me but does not seem it would only affect a certain rpm range. Maybe ignition timing is not advancing??? What's a good way to check it? Really would appreciate any and all ideas. Thanks
