    Angry 1986 mercury 150 black max xr2 bogs down getting on plane

    1986 Mercury black max xr2 s/n 0b129429, Motor bogs down while trying to get on plane, if you play with trimming it up motor will slowly climb rpm then all of a sudden tach out completely and will run fine.
    Could it be a power pack ? Motor charges battery ok and it has a new stator, trigger,coils,plug wires,plugs,rebuilt fuel pump and carbs, installed new chris carson reeds.

    Are you sure you have the right prop on it? An over pitch or unvented prop can cause your symptoms.
