thanks for your responce guys,
just itching to get out on the water now,once gareth at cobbs quay, marinautique, has sorted the carbs on my mercury,after being laid up for 18 months by the previous owner he said the carbs had varnished?,ive only had one go on it since i bought it,and it ran badly,so i hope gareth can sort it. maybe for next weekend fingers crossed,was hoping for this weekend but it wasnt to be.
