I have a 1990 90 HP mercury outboard. It is rough idling and surg

The motor is on a 1989 ThunderCraft. We just bought it and are having trouble getting the motor to idle smoothly. We changed the 3 spark plugs and the fuel filters. We also tightened the hose clamps. What else can we do?

Sounds like low speed jets need to be cleaned.

Mercury 1989 60 HP Outboard Motor manual to find gas to oil ratio

50:1 But if your doing mostly low rpm cruising (trolling) then you could reduce that a bit to 75:1 to help reduce smoke. If you do mostly mid to higher rpm cruising, then 50:1 (1 pint to 6 gallons. )
Or 200mls in 20 liters if your Canadian.

Have 115 Hp mercury outboard motor missing at full throttle and on idle. At mid throttle it is running fine. Any Idea what the problem could be. Thanks, Milton

Have your spark plugs changed AND carbs cleaned and adjusted.
Usually that can also be caused by a seized advance system ( plate under the flywheel, commanded to turn with the throttle linkage... )
