Mine has a fresh fuel filter and a nearly new cap and rotor, though it started the same way before I changed them. You may want to take a look at the cap and rotor, they seem to corrode quickly nowadays.

I'm a big Merc OEM fan, but not for distributor caps. Merc did away with the brass coating on the contacts (or made it much thinner-can't remember which). My last Merc cap had corroded contacts after one season. Sierra caps still have a good coating on them. I haven't had any issues since I switched to Sierra.
