primer ball won;t go hard,new primer ball won't go hard ,changed fittings
at both ends of gas line still won't go hard. motor is a little hard to star
but does star and run very well most of the time except for the odd time
when at full speed it will stumble as if fuel starved for about 2 sec.
might be in my mind but seems like perhaps top end is down just a little .
Any ideas ?
thanks


My 7.5hp merc acted like that and it ended up being a airleak where the
fuel line connected to,the engine. You might try when it is acting up
pumping the primer bulb to see if stops the "starved symdrome" could be
anywhere in the line. (or I could be wrong)
