I've got a 15 HP Merc Outboard that I use as a kicker for my sailboat. It's
about three years old and doesn't have many hours on it. It's developed a
problem where it will only run at low speed (1/4 throttle) until it's been
running for about 15 minutes. It you throttle up before that it chokes and
dies. Anybody have any ideas what the problem might be? Thanks. JM.


Sounds like you need a dose of carb cleaner.
