I have what I believe is a 20hp mid 80s Mercury with a 25 hp carb thrown on. And maybe I'm wrong I'm just having trouble finding parts via serial #OA736753. Carberator part # is literally punched out and missing a number.
Got the motor when I was fairly young and ran well when we first got it. Recently the motor isn't getting enough gas unless it's choked. To the point where you need the choke to start it until it's in gear. Otherwise it won't start or bogs then kills. I've went through the carb a few times, check to make sure its getting good spark, fuel lines/filter aren't clogged, and new gas. Now I've been messing with idle screw, but that doesn't necessarily do much.
Any ideas?
