    20 Pro xs question?

    I have a 20 175 Pro xs I just bought. Only has 7 hours on it. During break In I had a non critical alarm. Found out I had some water in my fuel. Dealer flushed fuel out of motor. I pumped my tanks empty and found 0 water. Put gas back in and took her out. Now it has a bad rough idle and actually is dying on me. In neutral, idle is fine but as soon as I put her clutch ahead it has a rough idle for about 3 seconds and then smooth idle for around 3 seconds. It seems like its starving for fuel possibly. Maybe fouled spark plugs? Any thought?

    2020 ProXS would be in the forum below this title four stroke/verado. That will get your the best help.

    If you post your questions in the Mercury - 4 Stroke / Verado forum you will not be told it's in the wrong place because that's where all 4-stroke discussion takes place. You will, however, be asked to provide engine serial number as they are required when posting. The other 3 Mercury forums are for 2-stroke engines only.
