Hello, I recently bought this older Merc 7.5hp and I’m having issues holding a low trolling speed. I can get the right speed but a minute or two later it starts to slow down and start to bog. Runs great at any other speed. I can’t tell what year it is as the serial number is not coming up online ( 7105558), I’m guessing it’s around 1975-1980
Pervious owner says spark plugs were changed before he sold it.
Sometimes when I throttle up in gear I can’t, I have to idle it back down and then it will throttle up all the way. Almost as if something is getting stuck. Don’t know if the two problems are related.
Anyone have any ideas before I attempt a carb rebuild.
thanks
