    2006 Mercury Bigfoot 50hp 4 stroke Outboard Motor

    Well, the last three times we have had it out it has run perfectly, at all speeds. It's almost like I didn't want to mention that. Before I start out I squeeze the bulb 4-5 times and off we go. I have run about 15 gallons of new premium gas through it and the last additive put in was a product...

    Vilas County changes trail openings

    This would be so great for those areas that are ready to go around December 1st which some are, just depends on the clubs and how they view their trails. Great for business and you can bet they will love it, many are members and donors of the clubs. Good move!

    United, last year before putting it away I tried to run it as low as I could on gas but did pit marine Stabil and Seafoam in the tank and then in April I filled with fresh tank of Premium, no ethanol gas. Used Mercury fuel treatment during the summer. We will see if things have cleared up, after...

    Brand new premium unleaded gas in to start the year. You can't always totally empty the tank but it's 95% fresh gas. Last night we went to dinner, about 20 minute ride, ran perfect, docked, had dinner, came out 2 hours later, ran perfect at all speeds on the way home for another 40 minutes...

    Appreciate all the help here on this and I have assembled a list of things to look at. I'll start with all the tips that were given and we'll see what happens. I will say that the more I use it it is running better everytime.

    Yikes! I had it out a bunch this week so far, everyday in fact. Leaving my dock after priming the bulb it runs like it should for about 30 minutes and then reverts back to acting like it has a fouled plug, very boggy.

    Arctic1, thanks for the link and the forum. It is becoming increasingly apparent that these motors are very finicky and need to be maintained almost 24/7, very hard to do where I live because it is used for about 5 months of the year and stored for 7 months. I have always tried to maintain my...
