Hi all I’ve got an old but until last night very reliable mercury 2.5 outboard
Last night it started well ran for a bit then the revs started fluctuating until it cut out it would then restart immediately but start with the spluttering and for about a minute
Managed to limp back to the pontoon and have a look at it
took the spark plug out and it was soaked so let the engine drain overnight with the plug out
This morning started it up ran it for about 10 minutes absolutely fine then it repeated last nights issue
Tools are limited till I get home during the week but does anyone have any ideas where to start looking
ps engine ran perfect 3 days previously and has never had issues before fuel is fresh and using good quality oil
