Anyone Suggest Good Honest Mobile Mechanic

I have a 2003 60 HP Mercury 2 Cycle outboard that is not cooperating.
Motor will start but there is no power when I throttle up.
I tried a few things and I’m at the point where I need some help. Anyone have a good experience with a mobile mechanic?
These are the things I tried:

  1. Rebuilt and cleaned the carbs
  2. Rebuilt fuel pump
  3. Replaced fuel line
  4. Replaced boat fuel filter
  5. Replaced motor fuel filer

Thanks

I would try O-Sea-D Boatworks and Dan’s Mobile Marine. Non-mobile, Chris V @ Charleston Marine and Sean (Loopervet) at Tall Sail Marine is who I would talk with to help out.

What is it doing? Is it choking out? Did you check the linkages?

It will start up fine and run rough in idle. When I use the lever to accelerate it will accelerate a little but then it stops at about 2000 rpm. Today I took the carbs off and cleaned them. It ran a bit better but it cannot get to the higher RPMs.
The compression is 125 on all. I’m kind of new to working on outboards.

I thought it may be the fuel pump and I rebuilt it. But it still has the same problem after the rebuild. Do you have some ideas?

To answer your question. There may be something wrong with the linkages you speak of. If I manually operate the linkage on the middle carb the engine does reach the higher RPMs. So something seems to have happened between the throttle and the linkage. But I’m not experience enough to see or know the problem. Thanks

Make sure the linkages are advancing the timimg. It’s most likely the carbs. Did you take all the Jets out and clean?

I think I may have found the problem with the linkage. Thanks to you. I’m going to make an adjustment in the morning and see if it works. If it does not work I will let you know and then you can have a crack at it. What is your business phone number? I’m sure I will need your help in the future. You helped me out. Thanks

The carbs need to right first
