Location: minocqua, wi. | that stalling out half the time on the throttle could be the reed valves. same thing happened on mine and the repair was around $500.00 ... it's a wear over hours/time thing and part of the game with outboards of that vintage to replace worn or broken parts. mine is a '95 merc 175 xri.
have you done a compression check? i'd consider doing that to determine how your powerhead is and if it's fine then start working your way back through the fuel delivery system and dial that dude in.
good luck! |
