I am still having a problem with my mercruiser 305. It will run at 10 mph all day long. But I can give it more throttle and it will either choke out or stay at the same rpm with the stick all the way down.
I pulled the fuel water separator and dumped it into a glass. It was clean fuel until the last bit came out it was some rust colored water. The filter is only about 2 months old. I went ahead and replaced that but still no fix. We opened up the carb and you could see little water molecules sitting on the jets and such.
But my question is if there is water in the tank why would it run at 10 mph steady all day? I would think if there was water in the gas it wouldn't run right at all. It will rev up to 5000 rpm's if I do it slowly. But if I try and rev it quick it pops in the carb.
Any help is much appreciated.
