A few weeks ago my motor started to lose power on acceleration. It would rev just fine but when I would put the throttle down in gear it would just bog down and run about 10 mph tops. After a while it would like fix itself and run fine. I checked the plugs and they looked kind of gunked up so I changed them to some new NKG's. First time out with the new plugs was last week and the motor was hard to start but ran OK after it did start. Today, same old problem. Hard to start, no power, then after we fished for awhile it starts and runs fine.
I'm thinking fuel filter. What do you all think? And where is the fuel filter on a Merc 50hp and how big a job is it. Is there anything else that could make the motor run like this?
