Try trimming it up just a little and see if it helps

You are exactly right angus. Carbed mercs have there quirks and thats one of them. Ole trick I use is to when idling use the warm up lever to raise rpms a tad or as you stated trim her up just a tad. Just have to remeber where or what you are doing before you nail it to get up on pad. It may also very well be its time for a carb cleaning and or carb rebuild depending on how bad she struggles and/or performs. A simple can of Seafoam might be the ticket. Try that first. Also like boater stated the more nfo we have the better recommend we can give ya. Everyone should remeber this. Alot of us do not mind at all helping folks out. Please remeber to give us all the info that you can think is relevant to the issue. It makes it so much easier to help you out when this is done.
