howdy.. i've got an '89 merc 75HP OB.. i've had it out 6 or 7 times and had absolutely no problem with it.. today i took it out - for the longest trip to date, and when i returned to dockside, the damned thing wouldn't idle.. like to have not gotten it started, but even when i did, it still won't idle.. otherwise, it runs fine.. anybody have any ideas? thanks for your time..

hot engine after running long period...vapor lock, maybe? can you check the telltale while running to see if it was extreamly hot?
