Hi
I have a 2008 Mercury 115, four stroke. After running for about 10 min., stopping to pick up friends, it re started ok , then bogged down like it was starving for gas. It gave it some gas an it seemed to jump back to life and run good for about 20 minutes then I was at idle and it struggled again like it was running on 2 cylinders and died. it restarted but was still struggling to idle. I gave it some gas and it can back to life.
The weekend before it just lost all power and dies and wouldn't restart so I got towed in and called the mobile mechanic. He replaced all the filters and added a water separator by the fuel tank but I'm now getting the above results.
The mobile guy thinks it could be bad gas from the e10 thing.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Jim
