Help with my 96 75Force outboard Please!

[my new fishmaster]

It likes to shake and makes some knocking noises but I only belive its in the mounting or steering linkage. Motor has few hours on it replaced many parts so far because she was stalling. Runs nothing like my 89 80 merc. Any ideas pwr seems low,idle seems bad. I was thinking maybe the reeds but have no idea what they look like.

One of the 2CDs is defective. Runs on 2 cylinders.

Sony may be right,as these go bad often.<br />But do a compression test. Also, look for signs of water in the botton cylinder,indicating a bad exaust port plate gasket (another weakness of this motor) or blown head gasket (less common).
