This nearly new engine less than 20 hours( but just out of guarantee)starts and runs well at idle runing. Its also o.k. when go at half or full throttle but 3 of 4 times the engine died when step on gas ( with gear in ) then its needs some time before its possible to restart.<br /><br />I inspected:<br />air vent / tank<br />water in fuel ( used new in separat can )<br />ignition / spark plugs<br /><br />further I want to test the fuel pump - how can I do this ?? <br /><br />until now I could not find the reason and seek some advice

Re: Mercury 6hp 2002

take hose going from pump and put into a container<br />and see how much fuel she's pumping. I would guess<br />a problem with a sticky needle valve causing her<br />to flood. assume she's not overheating right?
