I would have said that was pretty good. Sounds like some old mucky fuel, it has only done about 10 hours since the previous service which cost more than that.

Might be worth a shot of compressed air in to the carbs to clear the jets (just worked a treat on a friends Mercury 2stroke 115) - or take them off and soak them in carb cleaner to remove the gunk.

That's cheap I would say for a service.

 

Not sure what fuel/tank system you have but I would say that it's a fuel starvation problem

 

I had a similar problem on my 60HP Mercury, where my engine would cut out on one 22 litre tank but not the other one. I realised it was a fuel starvation problem as I had to keep squeezing the primer bulb to make it run. So it turned out that one tank was faulty/old & rusty. As soon as I replaced it all was fine. Not too expensive.

 

Hope you get it sorted soon.
