Question
I have 2005 metcury 25 HP it was running great but last time i used it i hisitates and stalled couple times when I accelrate
the gas was about a month and half old but I added some fresh gas to the tank what do i need to do

Answer
Hi Fred

  Unfortunately I mainly deal with construction & outfitting but it sounds like the fuel line could have a blockage or fuel pump not working fully it maybe worth trying an engine cleaner in the fuel(any good chandler or engineer should be able to recommend one),leave idle for a while & then give a good blast through
   Sorry i could not be more help

Thanks
